“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.
