Isaiah 48:10-13
Isaiah 48:10-13 NCV
I have made you pure, but not by fire, as silver is made pure. I have purified you by giving you troubles. I do this for myself, for my own sake. I will not let people speak evil against me, and I will not let some god take my glory. “People of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, I have called you to be my people. I am God; I am the beginning and the end. I made the earth with my own hands. With my right hand I spread out the skies. When I call them, they come together before me.”
