And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
For ahow should My name be profaned?
And bI will not give My glory to another.
God’s Ancient Plan to Redeem Israel
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;

bHe shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
| << Isaiah 48:10 | Isaiah 48:12 >> |
