2. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
3. I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5. I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: lest thou shouldst say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
