Yeshayah 48:8-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁸ Thou heardest not; thou had no da’as; from of old, thine ozen (ear) was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest deal as a boged (treacherous betrayer), and thou wast called a poshei’a (rebel, transgressor) from the beten (womb, i.e., birth; See Ps 51:5).

⁹ Lema’an Shmi (for the sake of My Name) will I defer Mine anger, and for My tehillah (praise) will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

¹⁰ Hinei, I have refined thee, but not as kesef; I have chosen thee in the furnace of oni (affliction).
