Isaiah 48:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ For the sake of my reputation I control my anger;
    for your sake I restrain my powerful radiance
    so as to not destroy you.
¹⁰ See, I have refined you, but not like silver;
    I have tested you^[a] in the furnace of misery.
¹¹ For the sake of my reputation, for my own sake, I will act,
    for why will my name be made impure?
    I won’t give my glory to another.
