Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

¹ Hear this, O thou house of Jacob; ye that are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of one stock with Judah; which swear by the name of the LORD, and bear witness by the God of Israel - but not with truth and right. ² Which are called free men of the holy city, as they that look for comfort in the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. ³ The things that I showed you ever since the beginning: Have I not brought them to pass, immediately as they came out of my mouth, and declared them? And they are come?
