You have heard; see all this.
    And will you not declare it?

I have shown you new things from this time,
    even hidden things, and you did not know them.
They are created now and not from the beginning;
    even before the day when you did not hear them,
lest you should say,
    “Yes, I knew them.”
You have not heard, you have not known,
    indeed, from long ago your ear has not been open.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
    and that from birth you have been called a rebel.
For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,
    and for My praise I will restrain it for you
    so that you are not cut off.
10 See, I have refined you, but not with silver;
    I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For My own sake, even for My own sake, I will do it;
    for how can My name be polluted?
    And I will not give My glory to another.

Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? [a]I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known. They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have [b]chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 11 For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.
