Israel Refined for God’s Glory

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob,
^hwho are called by the name of Israel,
and ⁱwho came from the waters of Judah,
^jwho swear by the name of the Lord
and confess the God of Israel,
but not in truth or right.
2 For they call themselves after the holy city,
^kand stay themselves on the God of Israel;
the Lord of hosts is his name.

16 so that he who ^lblesses himself in the land

shall swear by ⁿthe God of truth;

and are hidden from my eyes.

2 ^pThough they say, “As the Lord lives,”
