Isaiah 48:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.

⁹ For my name's sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.

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