Isaiah 48:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known,
nor from of old[a] has your ear been opened.
For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously,
and you are called a rebel from the womb.
9 For the sake of my name I refrain from[b] my anger,
and for my praise I restrain it for you
so as not to cut you off.
10 Look! I have refined you, but[c] not like[d] silver;
I have chosen you in the furnace of misery.
