Isaiah 48:9-12 World English Bible (WEB)

9. For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise I hold it back for you, so that I don’t cut you off.

10. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

11. For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.

12. “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I am also the last.
