6 You have heard it. Observe it all.

Will you not acknowledge it?

From now on I will announce new things to you,

hidden things that you have not known.c

7 They have been created now, and not long ago;

you have not heard of them before today,

so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them!’

8 You have never heard; you have never known;

for a long time your ears have not been open.

For I knew that you were very treacherous,

and were known as a rebel from birth.d
