Isaiah 48:5-11
English Standard Version
Isaiah 48:5-11
English Standard Version
5 (A)I declared them to you from of old,
before they came to pass I announced them to you,
lest you should say, (B)‘My idol did them,
my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’
6 “You have heard; now see all this;
and will you not declare it?
From this time forth (C)I announce to you new things,
hidden things that you have not known.
7 They are created now, not long ago;
before today you have never heard of them,
lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 You have never heard, you have never known,
from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously,
and that (D)from before birth you were called a rebel.
9 (E)“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, (F)but not as silver;
(G)I have tried[a] you in the furnace of affliction.
11 (H)For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
for how should my name[b] be profaned?
(I)My glory I will not give to another.

Isaiah 48:5-11
New International Version
Isaiah 48:5-11
New International Version
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(A) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(B)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(C)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(D) now, and not long ago;(E)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(F) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(G)
from of old your ears(H) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(I) you are;
you were called a rebel(J) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(K) I delay my wrath;(L)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(M)
10 See, I have refined(N) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(O) you in the furnace(P) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(Q) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(R)
I will not yield my glory to another.(S)
