Isaiah 48:1

The Lord Appeals to the Exiles

1 Listen to this, O family of Jacob, ^{▼▼tn Heb “house of Jacob”; TEV, CEV “people of Israel.”}
you who are called by the name “Israel,”
and are descended from Judah, ^{▼▼tc The Hebrew text reads literally “and from the waters of Judah came out.” מִמֵּי (mimme) could be a variation from an original מִמְּעֵי (mimmeʿe, “from the inner parts of”). The translation above as well as several other translations treat the text this way or understand that this is what the Hebrew phrase figuratively means (cf. HCSB, NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV). Some translations (ESV, NKJV) retain the MT reading and render it literally as “waters.” The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa, which corrects a similar form to “from inner parts of” in 39:7, does not do it here.}
who take oaths in the name of the Lord
and invoke ^{▼▼tn Heb “cause to remember”; KJV, ASV “make mention of.”} the God of Israel—
but not in an honest and just manner. ^{▼▼tn Heb “not in truth and not in righteousness.”}
