5 Thus says God, the Lord,

who created the heavens mand stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

nwho gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk in it:

6 “I am the Lord; oI have called you1 in righteousness;

I will take you by the hand and keep you;

I will give you pas a covenant for the people,

qa light for the nations,

7 rto open the eyes that are blind,

to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,

sfrom the prison those who sit in darkness.

8 I am the Lord; that is my name;

tmy glory I give to no other,

nor my praise to carved idols.

Isaiah 48:9-11 (Listen)

• Isaiah 47
• Isaiah 48
• Isaiah 49

9 m“For my name's sake I defer my anger,

for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,

that I may not cut you off.

10 Behold, I have refined you, nbut not as silver;

oI have tried1 you in the furnace of affliction.

11 pFor my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,

for how should my name2 be profaned?

qMy glory I will not give to another.
