Isaiah 48:9 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 48:9 in context

  1. 7They are created now, and not from of old.
    Before today, you didn’t hear them,
    lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
  2. 8Yes, you didn’t hear.
    Yes, you didn’t know.
    Yes, from of old your ear was not opened,
    for I knew that you dealt very treacherously,
    and were called a transgressor from the womb.
  3. 9For 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.
  4. 10Behold, I have refined you,
    but not as silver.
    I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
  5. 11For 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.
