Isaiah 48:9-12 King James Version (KJV)

9. For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

10. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

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

12. Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
