Isaiah 48:6-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. You have heard it. Observe it all.Will you not acknowledge it?From now on I will announce new things to you,hidden things that you have not known.

7. They have been created now, and not long ago;you have not heard of them before today,so you could not claim, ‘I already knew them! ’

8. You have never heard; you have never known;For a long time your ears have not been open.For I knew that you were very treacherous,and were known as a rebel from birth.

9. I will delay My anger for the honor 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.
