Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
Isaiah 48:6-11
New International Version
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(A)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(B) now, and not long ago;(C)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(D) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(E)
from of old your ears(F) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(G) you are;
you were called a rebel(H) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(I) I delay my wrath;(J)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(K)
10 See, I have refined(L) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(M) you in the furnace(N) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(O) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(P)
I will not yield my glory to another.(Q)

Isaiah 48:6-11
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)
