Israel Refined for God’s Glory

48Hear 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.

2For they call themselves after the holy city,

gand stay themselves on the God of Israel;

the Lord of hosts is his name.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“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—

you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city

and claim to rely on the God of Israel—

the Lord Almighty is his name:

CSBChristian Standard Bible

“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 the Lord

and declare the God of Israel,

but not in truth or righteousness.

For they are named after the holy city,

and lean on the God of Israel;

his name is the Lord of Armies.

NLTNew Living Translation

“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,

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

For they call themselves after the holy city,

and they lean on the God of Israel—

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

For they call themselves of the holy city,

And stay themselves upon the God of Israel;

The Lord of hosts is his name.
