“You have heard; now see all this;
    and will you not declare it?
From this time forth (A)I announce to you new things,
    hidden things that you have not known.
They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you have never heard of them,
    lest you should say, ‘Behold, I 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 surely deal treacherously,
    and that (B)from before birth you were called a rebel.

(C)“For my name's sake I defer my anger;
    for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
    that I may not cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, (D)but not as silver;
    (E)I have tried[a] you in the furnace of affliction.
11 (F)For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
    for how should my name[b] be profaned?
    (G)My glory I will not give to another.

  1. Isaiah 48:10 Or I have chosen
  2. Isaiah 48:11 Hebrew lacks my name

You’ve heard and seen all this—
    won’t you admit it?
From now on I’ll tell you new things,
    guarded secrets that you don’t know.
They are created now, not long ago;
    before today you hadn’t heard of them,
    so you won’t say, “I already knew them.”
You haven’t heard, nor have you known;
    as in ages past your ears are closed,
    because I knew what a traitor you were;
    you were known as a rebel from birth.
For the sake of my reputation I control my anger;
    for your sake I restrain my powerful radiance
    so as to not destroy you.
10 See, I have refined you, but not like silver;
    I have tested you[a] in the furnace of misery.
11 For the sake of my reputation, for my own sake, I will act,
    for why will my name be made impure?
    I won’t give my glory to another.
