Isaiah 46:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

From my knowledge that thou wert hard, and thy neck an iron sinew, and thy forehead of brass:

The mighty of heart were spoiled, they slumbered their sleep: and all the men of strength found not their hands.

And they will refuse to attend, and they will give a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they made heavy from hearing.

Your words were strong against me, said Jehovah. And ye said, What did we speak against thee?

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, also you.

They drew near pursuing mischief: they removed far off from thy law.

Thus said Jehovah, What iniquity found your fathers in me that they removed far off from me, and went after vanity, and they became vain?

And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ.
