Isaiah 48:1-2

Israel Refined for God’s Glory

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob,
^awho are called by the name of Israel,
and ^bwho came from the waters of Judah,
^cwho 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,
^dand stay themselves on the God of Israel;
the Lord of hosts is his name.

^gand in him shall they glory.”

2 ^hThough they say, “As the Lord lives,”
ⁱyet they swear falsely.

and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
ⁿand I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal
and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,
5 ^othose who bow down on the roofs
to the host of the heavens,
^pthose who bow down and swear to the Lord
and yet swear by ^qMilcom,
