Isaiah 48:9-11 ▼

9 I will delay my anger for the sake of my name, and I will restrain myself for your benefit and for my praise, so that you will not be destroyed.

10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

11 I will act for my own sake, indeed, my own, for how can I be defiled? I will not give my glory to another.
