³ “The former things ^(A)I declared of old;
    they went out from my mouth, and I announced them;
    then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.

^26 (A)Who declared it from the beginning, that we might know,
    and beforehand, that we might say, “He is right”?
There was none who declared it, none who proclaimed,
    none who heard your words.
