Isaiah 48:6-11

New American Standard Bible

⁶ You have heard; look at all this.
And you, will you not declare it?
I proclaim to you ^(A)new things from this time,
Hidden things which you have not known.
⁷ They are created now and not long ago;
And before today you have not heard them,
So that you will not say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
⁸ You have not ^(B)heard, you have not known.
Even from long ago your ear has not been open,
Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;
And you have been called a ^[a](C)rebel from ^[b]birth.
^9 (D)For the sake of My name I ^(E)delay My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain it for you,
In order not to cut you off.
¹⁰ Behold, I have refined you, but ^(F)not as silver;
I have tested you in the ^(G)furnace of affliction.
^11 (H)For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And I will not give My ^(I)glory to another.
