Isaiah 48:10

Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

⁹ Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off. ¹⁰ See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble. ¹¹ For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
