'Former Things' in the Bible

The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.

All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'

Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.

Remember former things of old, For I am Mighty, and there is none else, God -- and there is none like Me.

The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.

For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
