Isaiah 48:8-11

1. 8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

2. 9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

3. 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

4. 11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
