Isaiah 48

YHWH rebukes the house of Jacob/Israel for their stubbornness, obstinacy, and hypocrisy despite invoking His name, affirming His foreknowledge and sovereignty to prevent idol attribution, and declaring He has refined them in the furnace of affliction for His own glory.[1][2][3] He promises deliverance from Babylon through His chosen ally, calls them to listen and obey for prosperity like a river, and warns there is no peace for the wicked.[1][2][3]
