In context

3I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

4For I knew that you are stubborn; your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.

5Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this; my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’

6You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.

7They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
