You have not heard, you have not known,
    indeed, from long ago your ear has not been open.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
    and that from birth you have been called a rebel.
For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,
    and for My praise I will restrain it for you
    so that you are not cut off.
10 See, I have refined you, but not with silver;
    I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

    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.
