4. Because I know that you are stubborn,your neck is made of iron,and your forehead is bronze.
5. I informed you long ago;before they came about I proclaimed them to youso you wouldn’t say, "My idol did them;my wood statue and metal god commanded them."
6. You’ve heard and seen all this—won’t you admit it?From now on I’ll tell you new things,guarded secrets that you don’t know.
7. They are created now, not long ago;before today you hadn’t heard of them,so you won’t say, "I already knew them."
8. You haven’t heard, nor have you known;as in ages past your ears are closed,because I knew what a traitor you were;you were known as a rebel from birth.
9. For the sake of my reputation I control my anger;for your sake I restrain my powerful radianceso as to not destroy you.
