⁶ You have heard; now see all this;
   and will you not declare it?
From this time forward I make you hear new things,
   hidden things that you have not known.
⁷ They are created now, not long ago;
   before today you have never heard of them,
   so that you could not say, ‘I already knew them.’
⁸ You have never heard, you have never known,
   from of old your ear has not been opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
   and that from birth you were called a rebel.

⁹ For my name’s sake I defer my anger,
   for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
   so that I may not cut you off.
¹⁰ See, I have refined you, but not like^* silver;
   I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.
¹¹ For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
   for why should my name^* be profaned?
   My glory I will not give to another.
