Isaiah 48:9-11
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Warns Israel
9 I, the Lord, am true to myself;
I will be praised for not punishing
and destroying you.
10 I tested you in hard times
just as silver is refined
in a heated furnace.[a]
11 I did this because of who I am.
I refuse to be dishonored[b]
or share my praise
with any other god.

Isaiah 48:9-11
New International Version
9 For my own name’s sake(A) I delay my wrath;(B)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(C)
10 See, I have refined(D) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(E) you in the furnace(F) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(G) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(H)
I will not yield my glory to another.(I)
