6. You have heard these things; look at them all.Will you not admit them?‘From now on I will tell you of new things,of hidden things unknown to you.
7. They are created now, and not long ago;you have not heard of them before today.So you cannot say,“Yes, I knew of them.”
8. You have neither heard nor understood;from of old your ears have not been open.Well do I know how treacherous you are;you were called a rebel from birth.
9. For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath;for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,so as not to destroy you completely.
10. See, I have refined you, though not as silver;I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.How can I let myself be defamed?I will not yield my glory to another.
