Isaiah 48:2

2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Yisra'el; the LORD of Hosts is his name):

Isaiah 48:2 In-Context

1 Hear you this, house of Ya`akov, who are called by the name of Yisra'el, and are come forth out of the waters of Yehudah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Yisra'el, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Yisra'el; the LORD of Hosts is his name):
3 I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I shown them: suddenly I did them, and they happened.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I shown it you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
