Isaiah 48:1-2

Israel Refined for God’s Glory

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

Isaiah 58:2-3

2 ^jYet 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.
3 ^k‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, ^{▼▼Or pursue your own business}
^mand oppress all your workers.
