God Refines Israel for His Name's Sake

Isaiah 48:9-11

For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.

Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.

For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do it , For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.
