Isaiah 48:9–11

9 I will delay my anger for the sake of my name,

and I will restrain myself for your benefit and for my praise,

so that you will not be destroyed.

10 Look, I have refined you,e but not as silver;

I have testedB you in the furnace of affliction.

11 I will act for my own sake, indeed, my own,f

for how can IC be defiled?

I will not give my glory to another.g
