Isaiah 48:7-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
7They are created now and not long ago; And before today you have not heard them, So that you will not say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ 8You have not heard, you have not known. Even from long ago your ear has not been open, Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously; And you have been called a rebel from birth. 9For 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.King James Version
Chapter 48
7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
7They have been created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today, so you could not claim, 'I already knew them! ' 8You have never heard; you have never known; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew that you were very treacherous, and were known as a rebel from birth. 9I will delay my anger for the sake of my name, and I will restrain myself for your benefit and for my praise, so that you will not be destroyed.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 48
7They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ 8You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that from before 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, that I may not cut you off.New International Version
Chapter 48
7They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.' 8You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth. 9For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely.New King James Version
