Isaiah 48:8 DBY

⁶  Thou heardest, see all this; -- and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:

⁷  they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

⁸  Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.

⁹  For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and [for] my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.

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