28  So Israel lived in safety,

Jacob lived ^valone,¹

in a land of grain and wine,

whose heavens drop down dew.

1  Hear this, O house of Jacob,

who are called by the name of Israel,

and who came from the waters of Judah,

who swear by the name of the Lord

and confess the God of Israel,

but not in truth or right.

1  “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,

you who seek the Lord:

look to the rock from which you were hewn,

and to the quarry from which you were dug.
