Isaiah 48:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ See, I have refined you, but not with silver;
    I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ For My own sake, even for My own sake, I will do it;
    for how can My name be polluted?
    And I will not give My glory to another.

¹² Listen to Me, O Jacob
    and Israel, whom I called:
I am He;
    I am the First, and I am the Last.
