Isaiah 48:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ You neither heard nor knew;
    knowledge of them never reached your ears before now.
For I knew how treacherous you are
    and that from your birth you were rebellious.
⁹ For the sake of my name I will restrain my anger;
    for the sake of my honor I will be patient with you
    lest I should be tempted to destroy you.
¹⁰ See, I have tested you,
    but not in the manner that silver is tested;
    I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
