8. Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9. For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I restrain it for you, that I cut you not off.

11. For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.
