Isaiah 48
10 Ref Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Ref For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should [my name] be profaned? and my glory I will not give to another.
12 Ref Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Ref 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.
