Isaias 48:6-11 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:

7. They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.

8. Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.

9. For my name's sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.

10. Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.

11. For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.
