Isaiah 48:9 Context
7They are created now, and not from the beginning, euen before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 8Yea thou heardest not, yea thou knewest not, yea from that time that thine eare was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deale very treacherously, and wast called a transgressour from the wombe. 9¶ For my names sake will I deferre mine anger, and for my praise will I refraine for thee, that I cut thee not off. 10Behold, I haue refined thee, but not with siluer; I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction. 11For mine owne sake, euen for mine owne sake will I doe it; for how should my Name bee polluted? And I will not giue my glory vnto another.
