Isaiah 48:9 in context
- 7They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
- 8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
- 9For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
- 10Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
- 11For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.
