Isaiah 48:9-13

9“For My name’s sake I will defer My anger, And for My praise I will restrain it from you, So that I do not cut you off.

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

11For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.

12“Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last.

13Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.
