Isaiah 48:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ I will delay My anger for the honor of My name,
and I will restrain Myself for your benefit and for My praise,
so that you will not be destroyed.
¹⁰ Look, I have refined you,^(A) but not as silver;
I have tested^[a] you in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ I will act for My own sake, indeed, My own,^(B)
for how can I^[b] be defiled?
I will not give My glory to another.^(C)
