Isaiah 48:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ For my name’s sake I’ll be patient.
For my glory’s sake I’ll hold my anger back from you,
rather than destroy you.
¹⁰ I have refined you,
but not like silver.
I have tested you in the furnace of suffering.
¹¹ I am doing this for myself, only for myself.
Why should my name be dishonored?
I will not give my glory to anyone else.
