Isaiah 48:6-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

From now on I will also announce new things to you,
hidden things that you never knew.
⁷ These things are being created right now, not long ago.
You have not heard of them before today,
so you cannot say, “Oh, I already knew that!”
⁸ No, you have never heard them.
You certainly never knew them.
Your ear was not open, even back then.
Yes, I knew that you would be extremely unfaithful.
You were called a rebel before you were born.

⁹ For my name’s sake, I am slow to express my anger.
So that I will be praised, I will hold it back from you.
As a result, you are not cut off.

¹⁰ You see, I refined you, but not in the same way silver is refined.
I tested you in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ For my own sake, for my own sake, I will act.
Why should my name be defiled?
My glory I will not give to another.
