Listen to me, you stubborn- hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness.

Listen to me, you stubborn people. Pay attention, you who now refuse to do what I have said is right.

“ Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from righteousness:

“ Listen to me, you stubborn people who are so far from doing right.

Listen to me, you hardhearted, far removed from justice:

“ Listen to Me, you stubborn minded, Who are far from righteousness.

“ Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, Who are far from righteousness:

Hearken unto me, ye stout- hearted, that are far from righteousness:

Listen to me, you hardhearted, far removed from justice:

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

Listen to me, you stubborn- hearted, who are far from righteousness!

This is what the Lord says:“ What fault could your ancestors have possibly found in me that they strayed so far from me? They paid allegiance to worthless idols, and so became worthless to me.

“ Listen to me, O family of Jacob, all you who are left from the family of Israel, you who have been carried from birth, you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.

Those who are eager to do wrong draw near; they are far from your law.

I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.

“ How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you.

The bravehearted were plundered; they“ fell asleep.” All the warriors were helpless.

But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

“ But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.Indeed, they made their heart as hard as diamond, so that they could not obey the Torah and the other words the LORD who rules over all had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore, the LORD who rules over all had poured out great wrath.

Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?At the top of the elevated places along the way, at the intersection of the paths she takes her stand;beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:“ To you, O people, I call out, and my voice calls to all mankind.You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

The wicked have no chance for deliverance, for they do not seek your statutes.

Listen to this, all you nations! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world!

“ You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!

Pay attention and listen to my message! Be attentive and listen to what I have to say!

Listen to this, O family of Jacob, you who are called by the name‘ Israel,’ and are descended from Judah, who take oaths in the name of the LORD, and invoke the God of Israel– but not in an honest and just manner.

For everything made evident is light, and for this reason it says:“ Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!”

Because you say,“ I am rich and have acquired great wealth, and need nothing,” but do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked,take my advice and buy gold from me refined by fire so you can become rich! Buy from me white clothing so you can be clothed and your shameful nakedness will not be exposed, and buy eye salve to put on your eyes so you can see!

“ You have criticized me sharply,” says the LORD,“ but you ask,‘ How have we criticized you?’You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD who rules over all?So now we consider the arrogant to be happy; indeed, those who practice evil are successful. In fact, those who challenge God escape!’”

Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.
