Isaiah 48:7-9
New King James Version
Isaiah 48:7-9
New King James Version
7 They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
8 Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called (A)a transgressor from the womb.
9 “For(B) My name’s sake (C)I will [a]defer My anger,
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.

New International Version
Isaiah 48:7-9
New International Version
7 They are created(A) now, and not long ago;(B)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(C) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(D)
from of old your ears(E) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(F) you are;
you were called a rebel(G) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(H) I delay my wrath;(I)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(J)
