Isaiah 48:7-12 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. Today I am doing something new,something you cannot sayyou have heard before.

8. You have never been willingto listen to what I say;from the moment of your birth,I knew you would rebel.

9. I, the Lord, am true to myself;I will be praised for not punishingand destroying you.

10. I tested you in hard timesjust as silver is refinedin a heated furnace.

11. I did this because of who I am.I refuse to be dishonouredor share my praisewith any other god.

12. Israel, my chosen people,listen to me.I alone am the Lord,the first and the last.
