6. “You have heard;See all this.And will you not declare it?I have made you hear new things from this time,Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
7. They are created now and not from the beginning;And before this day you have not heard them,Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
8. Surely you did not hear,Surely you did not know;Surely from long ago 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 I will defer My anger,And for My praise I will restrain it from you,So that I do not cut you off.
10. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;For how should My name be profaned?And I will not give My glory to another.
