9“For the sake of My name I delay My wrath,

And for My praise I restrain it for you,

In order not to cut you off.

10“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

11“For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;

For how can My name be profaned?

And I will not give My glory to another.

12“Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called;

I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.

13“Assuredly My hand founded the earth,

And My right hand spread out the heavens;

When I call to them, they stand together.

14“Assemble, all of you, and listen!

Who among them has declared these things?

The Lord loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure against Babylon,

And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

15“I, yes I, have spoken; indeed I have called him,

I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful.
