Isaiah 48:11

Isaiah 48:11

9 “For^a My name’s sake ^bI will defer My anger,
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.

10 Behold, ^aI have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the ^bfurnace of affliction.

11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;
For ^ahow should My name be profaned?
And ^bI will not give My glory to another.

God’s Ancient Plan to Redeem Israel

12 “Listen to Me, O Jacob,
And Israel, My called:
I am He, ^aI am the ^bFirst,
I am also the Last.

13 Indeed ^aMy hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When ^bI call to them,
They stand up together.

14 “All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear!
Who among them has declared these things?
^aThe Lord loves him;
^bHe shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.

how should my name—MAURER, instead of "My name" from Isaiah 48:9, supplies "My glory" from the next clause; and translates, "How (shamefully) My glory has been profaned!" In English Version the sense is, "I will refrain (Isaiah 48:9, that is, not utterly destroy thee), for why should I permit My name to be polluted, which it would be, if the Lord utterly destroyed His elect people" (Ezekiel 20:9)?

not give my glory unto another—If God forsook His people for ever, the heathen would attribute their triumph over Israel to their idols; so God's glory would be given to another.
