Yea, hfrom that time that thine ear was not opened:
For I knew that thou wouldest mdeal very treacherously,
And wast called a transgressor nfrom the womb.

And for my praise will I refrain for thee,
That I cut thee not off.

For uhow should my name be polluted?
And vI will not give my glory unto another.

Isaiah 48:8–12 — New International Version (2011) (NIV)
8 You have neither heard nor understood;
from of old your ears have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth.
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.
10 See, I have refined you, though not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11 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.

I am he;
I am the first and I am the last.

from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously,
and that from before birth you were called a rebel.
9 “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.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.
11 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.

things you never heard of before.
For I know so well what traitors you are.
You have been rebels from birth.
9 Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name,
I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.
10 I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.
Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.
11 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!
12 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,
Israel my chosen one!
I alone am God,
the First and the Last.

Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.

And were called a transgressor from the womb.
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.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;

Isaiah 48:8–12 — New Century Version (NCV)
8 But you have not heard me; you have not understood.

you have fought against me since you were born.
9 But for my own sake I will be patient.
People will praise me for not becoming angry
and destroying you.
10 I have made you pure, but not by fire, as silver is made pure.
I have purified you by giving you troubles.
11 I do this for myself, for my own sake.
I will not let people speak evil against me,
and I will not let some god take my glory.

8 You have not heard or understood what I said.
Your ears have been plugged up for a long time.

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.
10 I have put you to the test in the furnace of suffering.
I have tried to make you pure.
But I did not use as much heat as it takes to make silver pure.

I did it for the honor of my name.
How can I let myself be dishonored?
I will not give up my glory to any other god.
