9 For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath;

for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,

so as not to destroy you completely.

9 For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger,

And for my praise will I refrain for thee,

That I cut thee not off.

9 Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name,

I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.

9 “For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,

And for My praise I will restrain it from you,

So that I do not cut you off.

9 But for my own sake I will be patient.

People will praise me for not becoming angry

and destroying you.

9 For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

9 For my name’s sake I will defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.

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. 

9 I will delay My anger for the honor of My name,

and I will restrain Myself for your benefit and for My praise,

so that you will not be destroyed.

9 For my name’s sake I defer my anger,

for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,

so that I may not cut you off.

9 For the sake of my name I refrain from my anger,

and for my praise I restrain it for you

so as not to cut you off.

9 For the honor of my own name I put off showing my anger.

I hold it back from you so people will continue to praise me.

I do not want to destroy you.

9 “For the sake of My name I delay My wrath,

And for My praise I restrain it for you,

In order not to cut you off.
