Isaiah 48 — Context

All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.

Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.

Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.

See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.

For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.

Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.
