10. See, I refined you, but not like silver;I tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11. For my sake, for my own sake, I do this;why should my name be profaned?My glory I will not give to another.
12. Listen to me, Jacob,Israel, whom I called!I, it is I who am the first,and am I the last.
13. Yes, my hand laid the foundations of the earth;my right hand spread out the heavens.When I summon them,they stand forth at once.
14. All of you assemble and listen:Who among you declared these things?The one the Lord loves shall do his willagainst Babylon and the offspring of Chaldea.
15. I myself have spoken, I have summoned him,I have brought him, and his way succeeds!
16. Come near to me and hear this!From the beginning I did not speak in secret;At the time it happens, I am there:“Now the Lord God has sent me, and his spirit.”
