Isaiah 48:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 For the sake of my name I restrain my anger,
for the sake of my renown I hold it back from you,
lest I destroy you.
10 See, I refined you, but not like silver;
I tested you in the furnace of affliction.(A)
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.
