THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Isaiah 48:11 in context

Isaiah 48:8–14

Yes, you didn’t hear.

Yes, you didn’t know.

Yes, from of old your ear was not opened,

for I knew that you dealt very treacherously,

and were called a transgressor from the womb.

For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger,

and for my praise, I hold it back for you

so that I don’t cut you off.

Behold, I have refined you,

but not as silver.

I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

Selected verse

For my own sake,

for my own sake, I will do it;

for how would my name be profaned?

I will not give my glory to another.

“Listen to me, O Jacob,

and Israel my called:

I am he.

I am the first.

I am also the last.

Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth,

and my right hand has spread out the heavens.

when I call to them, they stand up together.

“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear!

Who among them has declared these things?

He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon,

and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
