Isaiah 48:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 For my name’s sake I defer my anger;
for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
so that I may not cut you off.(A)
10 See, I have refined you but not like[a] silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.(B)
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
for why should my name[b] be profaned?
My glory I will not give to another.(C)
Isaiah 48:9-11
King James Version
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
