JPS
| 48:1
| Hear ye this, O house of Jacob,
Who are called by the name of Israel,

Who swear by the name of the LORD,
And make mention of the God of Israel,
But not in truth, nor in righteousness.
|
TJBU
| 48:1
| Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth from the stock of Judah, with whom he hath made a covenant in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, that the remembrance of them shall not cease. Shall not His Word stand in truth and righteousness?
