Isaiah 48:8-15 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

8. Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And `Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.

9. For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.

10. Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.

11. For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.

12. Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;

13. Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

14. Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.

15. I--I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.
