Isaiah 46:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,

The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

But they refused to hearken, and turned a rebellious shoulder, and made their ears heavy, that they should not hear.

Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?

O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, ye also.

They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Thus saith Jehovah: What injustice have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and become vain?

but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
