God Refines Israel for His Name's Sake

Isaiah 48:9-11

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

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

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.
