⁹ Behold, the ^(A)former things have come to pass,
Now I declare ^(B)new things;
Before they sprout I proclaim them to you.”

⁵ Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before ^[a]they took place I proclaimed them to you,
So that you would not say, ‘My ^(A)idol has done them,
And my carved image and my cast metal image have commanded them.’
