Isa 48:1 | NETfull | STEP | Listen to this, O family of Jacob, you who are called by the name ‘Israel,’ and are descended from Judah, who take oaths in the name of the Lord , and invoke the God of Israel

Isaiah 48:1

1 Listen to this, O family of Jacob, ^{▼▼ Heb “house of Jacob”; TEV, CEV “people of Israel.”}
you who are called by the name ‘Israel,’
and are descended from Judah, ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text reads literally “and from the waters of Judah came out.” מִמֵּי (mimme) could be a corruption of מִמְּעֵי (mimm^e’e, “from the inner parts of”; cf. NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV) as suggested in the above translation. Some translations (ESV, NKJV) retain the MT reading because the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a, which corrects a similar form to “from inner parts of” in 39:7, does not do it here.}
who take oaths in the name of the Lord,
and invoke ^{▼▼ Heb “cause to remember”; KJV, ASV “make mention of.”} the God of Israel –
but not in an honest and just manner. ^{▼▼ Heb “not in truth and not in righteousness.”}
