Isaiah 48:6-11
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, and will not ye [a]declare it? I have showed thee new things, even now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.
7 They are created now, and not of old, and even before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I [b]knew them.
8 Yet thou heardest them not, neither didst know them, neither yet was thine ear opened of old; for I knew that thou wouldest grievously transgress: therefore have I called thee a transgressor from the [c]womb.
9 For my Name’s sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise, will I refrain it from thee, [d]that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have fined thee, but [e]not as silver: I have [f]chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, for mine own sake will I do it; for how should my Name [g]be polluted? [h]surely I will not give my glory unto another.
