10 "Behold, I have declared the former things from the beginning; And they went forth out of My mouth and I showed them - I did show them suddenly.
11 And I did it because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck was an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
12 And I have, even from the beginning, declared to thee - Before it came to pass, I showed them thee; And I showed them for fear, lest thou shouldst say, ' Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image and my molten image hath commanded them. '
13 "Thou hast heard and seen all this, And will ye not declare them? And that I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, And thou didst not know them.
14 They are created now and not from the beginning; Even before the day when thou heardest them not, they were declared unto thee, Lest thou shouldst say, 'Behold, I knew them.'
15 Yea, and thou heardest not. Yea, thou knewest not, Yea, from that time thine ear was not opened; For I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
16 "Nevertheless, for My name's sake will I defer Mine anger, And for My praise will I refrain from thee that I cut thee not off.
17 For behold, I have refined thee - I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
18 For Mine own sake, yea, for Mine own sake, will I do this; For I will not suffer My name to be polluted. And I will not give My glory unto another.
19 "Hearken unto Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called - for I Am He, and I Am the first, and I Am also the last.
20 Mine hand hath also laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand hath spanned the heavens. And I called unto them, And they stand up together.
