New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Isaiah 48:6-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)
Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(A)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(B) now, and not long ago;(C)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(D) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(E)
from of old your ears(F) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(G) you are;
you were called a rebel(H) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(I) I delay my wrath;(J)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(K)
10 See, I have refined(L) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(M) you in the furnace(N) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(O) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(P)
I will not yield my glory to another.(Q)
