Isaiah 48:6 - 48:11

You have heard; look at all this.

And you, will you not declare it?

I caused you to hear new things from this time,

Even hidden things which you have not known.

They are created now and not long ago;

And before today you have not heard them,

Lest you say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’

Indeed, you have not heard; indeed, you have not known.

Indeed, even from long ago your ear has not been open

Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;

And you have been called a transgressor from the womb.

For the sake of My name I delay My anger,

And for My praise I restrain it for you,

In order not to cut you off.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;

For how can My name be profaned?

And My glory I will not give to another.
