“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.”
Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told—God's response begins with a command to witness, promising revelation of divine action so unexpected and dramatic that mere hearing would not suffice. The emphasis on disbelief prepares the hearer for shocking disclosure: God announces judgment but through means (Babylon) that seem inexplicable in the context of Judah's covenant relationship. The verse promises divine action while withholding its nature.
