Isaiah 46:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Because I know that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow bronze;

The stouthearted are spoiled; they have slept their sleep; and nothing was found in the hands of the men of might.

But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears that they should not hear.

Your words have prevailed against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.

Those that persecute me draw near unto evil; they have strayed from thy law.

thus hath the LORD said, What iniquity have your fathers found in me that they are gone far from me and have walked after vanity and are become vain?

but now in Christ Jesus ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ.
