Israel Refined for God’s Glory

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob,
^dwho are called by the name of Israel,
and ^ewho came from the waters of Judah,
^fwho 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,
^gand stay themselves on the God of Israel;
the Lord of hosts is his name.

Jeremiah 7:3-4

3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^hAmend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. 4 ⁱDo not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’

Micah 3:11

11 ^jIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
^kits priests teach for a price;

^myet they lean on the Lord and ⁿsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
^oNo disaster shall come upon us.”
