Isaiah 48:10

7 They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’

8 Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.

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

11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.

12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
