God promises comfort to his people

Isaiah Chapter s 40 to 48

Chapter 48

Israel’s empty religion

v1 The *Lord says, ‘Listen to this, you family of Jacob. You are called “Israel”. You come from the *tribe called “Judah”. You make solemn (serious) promises in the name of the *Lord God of Israel. But you do not do so truly or sincerely. You do not really mean what you say. v2 You call yourselves citizens of the holy city, that is, *Jerusalem. You even declare that you put your trust in the *Lord God of Israel, whose name is “Commander of Heaven’s Forces”. You are lying.’
