Isaiah 48:8-10

Tree of Life Version

⁸ You have not heard; you never knew;
even from long ago your ear has not been open.
For I knew that you are treacherous,
and from birth were called a rebel.
⁹ For My Name’s sake I defer My anger,
for My praise I will restrain it for you—
otherwise I would cut you off.
¹⁰ Behold, I have refined you,
    though not as silver.
I tested you in the furnace of affliction.^[a]
