Isaiah 48:8-10

8You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.

9For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely.

10See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
