Isaiah 48
8 Ref Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And `Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.
9 Ref For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.
10 Ref Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.
