⁸ You have never heard about them.
    You have never known about them.
        Your ears have never been open to hear them before.
    I know that you’ve acted very treacherously
    and that you have been called a rebel since you were born.
⁹ For my name’s sake I’ll be patient.
    For my glory’s sake I’ll hold my anger back from you,
    rather than destroy you.
¹⁰ I have refined you,
    but not like silver.
    I have tested you in the furnace of suffering.
