Isaiah 48:9-11 (Listen)

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.

[1] 48:10 Or I have chosen
[2] 48:11 Hebrew lacks my name
