Isaiah 48:6-11
Lexham English Bible
6 You have heard; see it all.
And will you not declare it?
I announce[a] new things to you from this time
and hidden things that[b] you have not known.
7 Now they are created, and not from of old,[c]
and before today, and you have not heard them
so that you could not say, “Look! I knew them.”
8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known,
nor from of old[d] has your ear been opened.
For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously,
and you are called a rebel from the womb.
9 For the sake of my name I refrain from[e] my anger,
and for my praise I restrain it for you
so as not to cut you off.
10 Look! I have refined you, but[f] not like[g] silver;
I have chosen you in the furnace of misery.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake I do it;
for why should it[h] be defiled?
And I will not give my glory to another.”

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)
