Isaiah 48:6-11
Holman 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 honor 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)

Isaiah 48:6-11
International Standard Version
6 “You have heard—now look at them all!
How[a] can you not admit them?
From now on, I’ll make you hear new things,
hidden things that you have not known.
7 They are created now, and not long ago;
you didn’t hear them before today,
so you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew them.’
8 And[b] neither had you heard, nor did you understand,
nor did you open[c] your ear long ago.[d]
Indeed, I knew that[e] you would act very deceitfully,
and they would call[f] you a rebel from birth.
9 I defer my anger for my name’s sake,
and as my first act[g] I’m restraining it for you,
so as not to cut you off.
10 Look, I have refined you, but not like silver;
I have purified[h] you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For my own sake—Yes, for my own sake!—I’m doing it;
indeed, how can I be profaned?[i]
Furthermore, I won’t give my glory to another.”
