Isaiah 48
10 Ref Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 Ref For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should `my name' be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.
12 Ref Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Ref Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
