Isaiah 48:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 48:12

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.

15 I, even I, have spoken;
Yes, ^aI have called him,
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.

16 “Come near to Me, hear this:
^aI have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
From the time that it was, I was there.
And now ^bthe Lord God and His Spirit
¹Have sent Me.”

17 Thus says ^athe Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
^bWho leads you by the way you should go.
