Isaiah 48:8-10

Darby Translation

⁸ Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.

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.

¹⁰ Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
