⁷ Now they are created, and not from of old,^[a]
    and before today, and you have not heard them
        so that you could not say, “Look! I knew them.”
⁸ Neither have you heard, nor have you known,
    nor from of old^[b] has your ear been opened.
For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously,
    and you are called a rebel from the womb.
⁹ For the sake of my name I refrain from^[c] my anger,
    and for my praise I restrain it for you
        so as not to cut you off.
