Isaiah 48:8-10

World English Bible

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.
