Isaiah 48:9

48:9 For the sake of my reputation ¹  I hold back my anger;

for the sake of my prestige ²  I restrain myself from destroying you. ³ 

[48:9]  ¹ tn Heb “for the sake of my name” (so NAB, NASB); NLT “for my own sake.”

[48:9]  ² tn Heb “and my praise.” לְמַעַן (lÿma’an, “for the sake of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[48:9]  ³ tn Heb “I restrain [myself] concerning you not to cut you off.”
