Israel Refined for God’s Glory

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

Isaiah 58:2

2 ⁱYet they seek me daily
and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that did righteousness
and did not forsake the judgment of their God;
they ask of me righteous judgments;
they delight to draw near to God.
