9oFor my name’s sake pwill qI defer mine anger,

And for my praise will I refrain for thee,

That I cut thee not off.

10Behold, rI have refined thee, but not ||with silver;

I have chosen thee sin the furnace of affliction.

11tFor mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it:

For uhow should my name be polluted?

And vI will not give my glory unto another.

Read in Logos
Isaiah 48:10: Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“For my name’s sake I defer my anger;

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

that I may not cut you off.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,

for how should my name be profaned?

My glory I will not give to another.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

See, I have refined you, though not as silver;

I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.

How can I let myself be defamed?

I will not yield my glory to another.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

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

I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

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

for how can I be defiled?

I will not give my glory to another.

NLTNew Living Translation

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

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

I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.

Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

I will rescue you for my sake—

yes, for my own sake!

I will not let my reputation be tarnished,

and I will not share my glory with idols!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

Look! I have refined you, but not like silver;

I have chosen you in the furnace of misery.

For my own sake, for my own sake I do it;

for why should it be defiled?

And I will not give my glory to another.”
