Isaiah 48:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Yet thou heardest them not, neither didst know them, neither yet was thine ear opened of old; for I knew that thou wouldest grievously transgress: therefore have I called thee a transgressor from the [a]womb.
9 For my Name’s sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise, will I refrain it from thee, [b]that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have fined thee, but [c]not as silver: I have [d]chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
