Isaiah 48:8-11

LEB(i) 8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known, nor from of old* has your ear been opened. For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously, and you are called a rebel from the womb. 9 For the sake of my name I refrain from* my anger, and for my praise I restrain it for you so as not to cut you off. 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."
