Isaiah 46:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

“Because I know that you are

obstinate,

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

The stouthearted were plundered,

They sank into sleep;

And none of the warriors could use his hands.

But they refused to pay attention and

turned a stubborn shoulder and

stopped their ears from hearing.

“Your words have been arrogant against Me,” says the Lord. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’

“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.

Those who follow after wickedness draw near;
They are far from Your law.

Thus says the Lord,
“What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me
And walked after emptiness and became empty?

But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near

by the blood of Christ.
