Isaiah 48:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 But you have not heard me. You have not understood.
Even long ago you did not listen to me.
I knew you would surely turn against me.
You have fought against me since you were born.
9 But for my own sake I will be patient.
People will praise me for not becoming angry
and destroying you.
10 I have made you pure, but not by fire, as silver is made pure.
I have purified you by giving you troubles.
Isaiah 48:8-10
New International Version
Isaiah 48:8-10
New International Version
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(A)
from of old your ears(B) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(C) you are;
you were called a rebel(D) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(E) I delay my wrath;(F)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(G)
10 See, I have refined(H) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(I) you in the furnace(J) of affliction.
