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 48:1

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).
