Isaiah 48:9 in the King James Version
For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Context
8 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.
9 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.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
