“Because I know that you are

obstinate,

And your neck is an iron sinew
And your forehead bronze,

O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth?
You have smitten them,
But they did not weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.

The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the wicked are not separated.

But they refused to pay attention and

turned a stubborn shoulder and

stopped their ears from hearing.

For

For those who turn justice into wormwood
And cast righteousness down to the earth.”

Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

Can a

throne of destruction be allied with You,

One which devises mischief by decree?

Transgressing and denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving in and uttering from the heart lying words.

They speak mere words,

With worthless oaths they make covenants;

And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

Concerning evil, both hands do it well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.

Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
Yes, destruction and violence are before me;

Strife exists and contention arises.

“You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.
