God Refines Israel for His Name's Sake

Isaiah 48:9-11

For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

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

For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.
