Isaiah 48:1
THE THINGS THAT BEFALL BABYLON JEHOVAH PREDICTED LONG BEFORE, LEST ISRAEL SHOULD ATTRIBUTE THEM, IN ITS "OBSTINATE" PERVERSITY, TO STRANGE GODS (Isaiah 48:1-5). (Isa. 48:1-22)
the waters of Judah—spring from the fountain of Judah (Numbers 24:7; Deuteronomy 33:28; Psalms 68:26; Margin). Judah has the "fountain" attributed to it, because it survived the ten tribes, and from it Messiah was to spring.
swear by . . . Lord— (Isaiah 19:18; Isaiah 45:23; Isaiah 65:16).
mention—in prayers and praises.
not in truth— (Jeremiah 5:2; John 4:24).
