Isaiah 48:6-11
Christian Standard Bible
6 You have heard it. Observe it all.
Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.(A)
7 They have been created now, and not long ago;
you have not heard of them before today,
so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them!’
8 You have never heard; you have never known;
for a long time your ears have not been open.
For I knew that you were very treacherous,
and were known as a rebel from birth.(B)
9 I will delay my anger for the sake of my name,
and I will restrain myself for your benefit and for my praise,
so that you will not be destroyed.
10 Look, I have refined you,(C) but not as silver;
I have tested[a] you in the furnace of affliction.
11 I will act for my own sake, indeed, my own,(D)
for how can I[b] be defiled?
I will not give my glory to another.(E)
