Isaiah 48:9-11

Amplified Bible

⁹ 
“For the sake of My Name I refrain from My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain Myself from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
¹⁰ 
“Indeed, I have refined you, but not as ^[a]silver;
I have tested and chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ 
“For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it [I refrain and do not completely destroy you];
For how can My Name be defiled and profaned [as it would if My chosen people were completely destroyed]?
And I will not give My glory to another [by permitting the worshipers of idols to triumph over you].
