Isaiah 48:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 For my Name’s sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise, will I refrain it from thee, [a]that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have fined thee, but [b]not as silver: I have [c]chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, for mine own sake will I do it; for how should my Name [d]be polluted? [e]surely I will not give my glory unto another.
