Isaiah 48:8-10

New Living Translation

⁸ “Yes, I will tell you of things that are entirely new,
    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.
