2you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city
and rely on the God of Israel—
the LORD Almighty is his name:

3I foretold the former things long ago,
my mouth announced them and I made them known;
then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

4For I knew how stubborn you were;
the sinews of your neck were iron,
your forehead was bronze.

5Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My idols did them;
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’

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

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

8You have neither heard nor understood;
from of old your ear has not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth.

11For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?
I will not yield my glory to another.
