You have heard, see all this; and will not you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb. ¶
For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory to another. ¶
Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
