Isaiah 48:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Because of who I am,
    I will keep my anger until later.
I will not destroy you now,
    so that people will praise my name.
¹⁰ Listen! I have made you pure.
    But I have not done it in the way that people make silver pure.
Instead, I have sent pain and trouble to you.
    That is how I make you pure.
¹¹ I do these things to show who I am.
    That is why I do it!
I will not let people insult my good name.
    I will not let anyone else share my glory.
