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.
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.’
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.
(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.

  1. Isaiah 48:8 Or transgressor
  2. Isaiah 48:8 Lit the belly

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)
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.”
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)

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)
