Isaiah 48:10-13
10
See, I have refined you, though not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?
I will not yield my glory to another.
12
Israel Freed
“Listen to me, O Jacob,
Israel, whom I have called:
I am he;
I am the first and I am the last.
13
My own hand laid the foundations of the earth,
and my right hand spread out the heavens;
when I summon them,
they all stand up together.
