⁶ “You have heard—now look at them all!
    How^[a] can you not admit them?
From now on, I’ll make you hear new things,
    hidden things that you have not known.
⁷ They are created now, and not long ago;
    you didn’t hear them before today,
        so you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew them.’
⁸ And^[b] neither had you heard, nor did you understand,
    nor did you open^[c] your ear long ago.^[d]
Indeed, I knew that^[e] you would act very deceitfully,
    and they would call^[f] you a rebel from birth.
⁹ I defer my anger for my name’s sake,
    and as my first act^[g] I’m restraining it for you,
        so as not to cut you off.
¹⁰ Look, I have refined you, but not like silver;
    I have purified^[h] you in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ For my own sake—Yes, for my own sake!—I’m doing it;
    indeed, how can I be profaned?^[i]
        Furthermore, I won’t give my glory to another.”
