Isaiah 48:10 CPDV

⁸  You have neither heard, nor known, nor were your ears open in that time. For I knew that you would transgress greatly, and so I called you a transgressor from the womb.

⁹  For the sake of my name, I will take the face of my fury far away. And for the sake of my praise, I will bridle you, lest you perish.

¹⁰  Behold, I have refined you, but not like silver. I have chosen you for the furnace of poverty.

¹¹  For my sake, for my own sake, I will do it, so that I may not be blasphemed. For I will not give my glory to another.

¹²  Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call. I am the same, I am the first, and I am the last.
