Isaiah 48:9-13

9For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and [for] my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.

10Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

11For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do [it]; for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.

12Hearken unto me, Jacob, and [thou] Israel, my called. I [am] HE; I, the first, and I, the last.

13Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread abroad the heavens: I call unto them, they stand up together.
