“For My name’s sake I defer my anger, for the sake of My praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. 10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. 11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another (Isaiah 48:9-11).
