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.”

World English Bible
6 You have heard it.
Now see all this.
And you, won’t you declare it?
“I have shown you new things from this time,
even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 They are created now, and not from of old.
Before today, you didn’t hear them,
lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 Yes, you didn’t hear.
Yes, you didn’t know.
Yes, from of old your ear was not opened,
for I knew that you dealt very treacherously,
and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger,
and for my praise, I hold it back for you
so that I don’t cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you,
but not as silver.
I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For my own sake,
for my own sake, I will do it;
for how would my name be profaned?
I will not give my glory to another.
