⁶ You have heard; now see all this;
    and will you not declare it?
From this time forward I tell you new things,
    hidden things that you have not known.^(A)
7 They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you have never heard of them,
    so that you could not say, “I already 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 act very treacherously
    and that from birth you were called a rebel.^(B)

⁹ For 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.^(C)
10 See, I have refined you but not like^[a] silver;
    I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.^(D)
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
    for why should my name^[b] be profaned?
    My glory I will not give to another.^(E)
