Isaiah 48

⁷ They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’

⁸ You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.

⁹ For the sake of My name I will delay My wrath; for the sake of My praise I will restrain it, so that you will not be cut off.

¹⁰ See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

¹¹ For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.
