In both the Torah reading and הפטרה of פרשת עקב (from 49th and 50th chapters of ישעיה), we find some examples of when the written word in the Torah or Prophets scroll is the four letter name of God, yet the pronunciation is אלקים. If my memory serves me, this doesn't happen in the first four books of the Torah. The גמרא in פסחים נ עמוד א explicitly says that the four letter name is pronounced with א, ד. Why not just use אלקים explicitly in these places?
