"For the sake of my reputation I hold back my anger; for the sake of my prestige I restrain myself from destroying you."
— Isaiah 48:9, NET Bible
“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 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 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.”
You have heard; now look at all the evidence! Will you not admit that what I say is true? From this point on I am announcing to you new events that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about.
Now they come into being, not in the past; before today you did not hear about them, so you could not say,‘Yes, I know about them.’
You did not hear, you do not know, you were not told beforehand. For I know that you are very deceitful; you were labeled a rebel from birth.
For the sake of my reputation I hold back my anger; for the sake of my prestige I restrain myself from destroying you.
Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.
For my sake alone I will act, for how can I allow my name to be defiled? I will not share my glory with anyone else!
Listen to me, O Jacob, Israel, whom I summoned! I am the one; I am present at the very beginning and at the very end.
