Israel Refined for God’s Glory

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 anot in truth or in righteousness; 
2 For they call themselves aafter the holy city,
And blean on the God of Israel;
The Lord of hosts is His name: 
3 “I have adeclared the former things from the beginning;
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did them, band they came to pass. 
4 Because I knew that you were1 obstinate,
And ayour neck was an iron sinew,
And your brow bronze,

Isaiah 48:2

For—Ye deserve these reproofs; "for" ye call yourselves citizens of "the holy city" (Isaiah 52:1), but not in truth (Isaiah 48:1; Nehemiah 11:1; Daniel 9:24); so the inscription on their coins of the time of the Maccabees. "Jerusalem the Holy."
