Isaiah 48:10-13

LEB(i) 10 Look! I have refined you, but* not like* silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of misery. 11 For my own sake, for my own sake I do it; for why should it* be defiled? And I will not give my glory to another." 12 "Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, whom I called:* I am he. I am the first; also I am the last. 13 Indeed, my hand founded the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon* them, they stand in position together.
