Kabbalah su Isaia 48:9
לְמַ֤עַן שְׁמִי֙ אַאֲרִ֣יךְ אַפִּ֔י וּתְהִלָּתִ֖י אֶחֱטָם־לָ֑ךְ לְבִלְתִּ֖י הַכְרִיתֶֽךָ׃
Per il mio nome'Per amor di me rinvierò la mia ira, e per la mia lode mi trattengo per te, per non tagliarti.
Zohar
And even here "Ad-nai, Ad-nai" there is a pause between them, at the outset there was completion, at the end there was completion in everything. And Moshe, at the place of judgment said: descend to us from Atika Kadisha compassion to Ze'ir Anpin. Since this we teach: how many valleys Moshe has, that in every one of them he pulled down compassion. And so he revealed Atika in Ze'ir Anpin, all was seen in compassion. And the mark was transfixed and raised and smoke did not come out, as you say "For My own glory I will be patient with you" (Isaiah 48:9).

Idra Zuta
The nose of Arich Anpin
The breath (or spirit) of life blows on Zeir Anpin through the nose of Arich Anpin, through the opening of this orifice. One Hei derives from this orifice that supports another Hei below. This breath emerges from the hidden brain and is called the spirit of life. By means of this spirit people will know wisdom at the era of King Messiah, as written, “and the spirit of Hashem shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding…” (Yeshayahu 11:2). This nose (chotem) is life in every direction, complete joy, contentment, and healing. It is written of the nose of Zeir Anpin, “there went up a smoke out of his nostrils” (II Shmuel 22:9), but here it is written, “and for my praise will I refrain (echetom) for you” (Yeshayahu 48:9).

Idra Zuta
“And Hashem smelled the sweet savor (lit. fragrant scent).” It is not written, “the scent of the sacrifice,” but the fragrant scent. The reason is that all Gvurot are attached to the nose, as said in the previous section. All the judgments attached to the nose are sweetened, and many Gvurot join together, as said before, as written, “Who can utter the mighty acts (Gvurot) of Hashem? Who can declare all his praise?” (Tehillim 106:2) A fire-devouring fire emanates from one nostril; it is the judgments of the Lock within the curtain of Chirik. Smoke emanates from the other nostril; it is the judgments of the left without the right to which the judgments within the curtain are attached. The one and the other are sweetened by the altar’s fire and smoke, as said in the previous section. Atika Kadisha appears with its Chassadim, and all judgments subside; after the left is incorporated within the Chassadim, all judgments in it are obliterated. This is what is meant by, “for my praise will I refrain (lit. nose) for you” (Yeshayahu 48:9), referring to the nose of Atika (as said in the Greater Gathering, section 70), (also study the Greater Gathering, in the Sulam commentary on section 234).
