Isaiah 48:1-3
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Lord Will Refine His People Before He Rescues Them from Babylon
48 Listen to this, descendants of Jacob!
You are given the name of Israel.
You are descended from Judah.[a]
You take oaths by the name of the Lord.
You acknowledge the God of Israel,
but you are not honest or sincere.
2 You call yourselves ⌞citizens⌟ of the holy city.
You depend on the God of Israel.
His name is the Lord of Armies.
3 From the beginning I revealed to you what would happen.
These words came out of my mouth,
and I made them known.
Suddenly, I acted, and they happened.
