Isaiah 48:6-11
New American Standard Bible
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.

Isaiah 48:6-11
New Living Translation
6 You have heard my predictions and seen them fulfilled,
but you refuse to admit it.
Now I will tell you new things,
secrets you have not yet heard.
7 They are brand new, not things from the past.
So you cannot say, ‘We knew that all the time!’
8 “Yes, I will tell you of things that are entirely new,
things you never heard of before.
For I know so well what traitors you are.
You have been rebels from birth.
9 Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name,
I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.
10 I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.
Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.
11 I will rescue you for my sake—
yes, for my own sake!
I will not let my reputation be tarnished,
and I will not share my glory with idols!
Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
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,(A)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(B) now, and not long ago;(C)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(D) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(E)
from of old your ears(F) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(G) you are;
you were called a rebel(H) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(I) I delay my wrath;(J)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(K)
10 See, I have refined(L) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(M) you in the furnace(N) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(O) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(P)
I will not yield my glory to another.(Q)
