King James Version
"For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off."
— Isaiah 48:9, King James Version
“For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. ”
“For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.”
“For the sake of my reputation I hold back my anger; for the sake of my prestige I restrain myself from destroying you.”
“For my name's sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.”
“Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.”
“For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.”
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
