Isaiah 48:1

Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

¹ “Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are named Israel
And who came forth from the loins of Judah,
Who swear by the name of the Lord
And invoke the God of Israel,
But not in truth nor in righteousness.
² “For they call themselves after the holy city
And lean on the God of Israel;
The Lord of hosts is His name.
