Isaiah 48:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸You have never heard, you have never known,
from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
and that from birth you were called a rebel.

⁹For my name’s sake I defer my anger,
    for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
    so that I may not cut you off.
¹⁰See, I have refined you, but not like^[a] silver;
    I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.
