Isaiah 48:9

9 For the sake of my reputation ^{▼▼ Heb “for the sake of my name” (so NAB, NASB); NLT “for my own sake.”} I hold back my anger;
for the sake of my prestige ^{▼▼ Heb “and my praise.” לְמַעַן (l^ema’an, “for the sake of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).} I restrain myself from destroying you. ^{▼▼ Heb “I restrain [myself] concerning you not to cut you off.”}
