¹ Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith. ² For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name. ³ I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
