my carved image and cast idol control them.’(A)

Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.(B)
7 Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.(B)
They have been created now, and not long ago;

so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them!’
you have not heard of them before today,
so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them!’
