before it occurred, I proclaimed it to you;
so that you could not say, ‘My idol did it;
my carved image, my statue, gave the order for it.’
You have heard and seen all this,

before today, you did not hear them:
so you can’t say, ‘I already know about them.’

So you cannot say,
    ‘Yes, I knew(F) of them.’
