Isaiah 48:9-11
King James Version
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.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
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.

Isaiah 48:9-11
New International Version
9 For my own name’s sake(A) I delay my wrath;(B)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(C)
10 See, I have refined(D) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(E) you in the furnace(F) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(G) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(H)
I will not yield my glory to another.(I)
