Isaiah 48:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Certainly thou hast never heard this; certainly thou hast never known this; certainly thine ear was never before opened: for I knew that being unfaithful thou would disobey; therefore, I called thee a rebel from the womb.

⁹ ¶ For my name’s sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will wait patiently for thee that I not cut thee off.

¹⁰ Behold, I have refined thee, and not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
