Isaiah 48:1-3
Names of God Bible
The Lord Will Refine His People Before He Rescues Them from Babylon
48 Listen to this, descendants of Jacob!
You are given the name of Israel.
You are descended from Judah.[a]
You take oaths by the name of Yahweh.
You acknowledge the Elohim of Israel,
but you are not honest or sincere.
2 You call yourselves citizens of the holy city.
You depend on the Elohim of Israel.
His name is Yahweh Tsebaoth.
3 From the beginning I revealed to you what would happen.
These words came out of my mouth,
and I made them known.
Suddenly, I acted, and they happened.

New International Version
Stubborn Israel
48 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,
you who are called by the name of Israel(A)
and come from the line of Judah,(B)
you who take oaths(C) in the name of the Lord(D)
and invoke(E) the God of Israel—
but not in truth(F) or righteousness—
2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city(G)
and claim to rely(H) on the God of Israel—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(I)
3 I foretold the former things(J) long ago,
my mouth announced(K) them and I made them known;
then suddenly(L) I acted, and they came to pass.
