Context Readings

Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

7 And some done now not of old time, whereof thou never heardest before they were brought to pass: that thou cannot say "I knew of them." 8 Moreover, there be some whereof thou hast neither heard nor know, neither have they been open unto thine ears afore time. For I know that thou wouldest maliciously offend, therefore have I called thee a transgressor, even from thy mother's womb. 9 Nevertheless, for my name's sake, I have withdrawn my wrath, and for mine honour's sake I have overseen thee, so that I have not rooted thee out.
