Isaiah 48:9 WBT

⁷  They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardst them not; lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew them.

⁸  Yes, thou heardst not; yes, thou knewest not; yes, from that time [that] thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

⁹  For my name's sake will I defer my 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 my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
