1 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,

you who are called by the name of Israel

and come from the line of Judah,

you who take oaths in the name of the Lord

and invoke the God of Israel—

but not in truth or righteousness—

2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city

and claim to rely on the God of Israel—

the Lord Almighty is his name:

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob,

Which are called by the name of Israel,

And are come forth out of the waters of Judah,

Which swear by the name of the Lord,

And make mention of the God of Israel,

But not in truth, nor in righteousness.

2 For they call themselves of the holy city,

And stay themselves upon the God of Israel;

The Lord of hosts is his name.

1 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,

you who are called by the name of Israel

and born into the family of Judah.

Listen, you who take oaths in the name of the Lord

and call on the God of Israel.

You don’t keep your promises,

2 even though you call yourself the holy city

and talk about depending on the God of Israel,

whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob,

Who are called by the name of Israel,

And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah;

Who swear by the name of the Lord,

And make mention of the God of Israel,

But not in truth or in righteousness;

2 For they call themselves after the holy city,

And lean on the God of Israel;

The Lord of hosts is His name:

1 The Lord says, “Family of Jacob, listen to me.

You are called Israel,

and you come from the family of Judah.

You swear by the Lord’s name

and praise the God of Israel,

but you are not honest or sincere.

2 You call yourselves people of the holy city,

and you depend on the God of Israel,

who is named the Lord All-Powerful.

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness 2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts is his name):

1 Hear ye this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness. 2 For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

1 Listen to this, descendants of Jacob! 

You are given the name of Israel. 

You are descended from Judah.

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. 

1 “Listen to this, house of Jacob—

those who are called by the name Israel

and have descended from Judah,

who swear by the name of Yahweh

and declare the God of Israel,

but not in truth or righteousness.

2 For they are named after the Holy City,

and lean on the God of Israel;

His name is Yahweh of Hosts.

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob,

who are called by the name of Israel,

and who came forth from the loins of Judah;

who swear by the name of the Lord,

and invoke the God of Israel,

but not in truth or right.

2 For they call themselves after the holy city,

and lean on the God of Israel;

the Lord of hosts is his name.

1 Hear this, house of Jacob,

who are called by the name of Israel

and came out from the waters of Judah,

who swear by the name of Yahweh,

and invoke the God of Israel,

but not in truth

and not in righteousness.

2 For they call themselves after the holy city,

and they lean on the God of Israel—

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

1 People of Jacob, listen to me.

You are called by the name of Israel.

You come from the family line of Judah.

You take oaths in the name of the Lord.

You pray to Israel’s God.

But you aren’t honest.

You don’t mean what you say.

2 You call yourselves citizens of the holy city of Jerusalem.

You say you depend on Israel’s God.

His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All. He says,

1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are named Israel

And who came forth from the loins of Judah,

Who swear by the name of the Lord

And invoke the God of Israel,

But not in truth nor in righteousness.

2 “For they call themselves after the holy city

And lean on the God of Israel;

The Lord of hosts is His name.
