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

“ 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 people, you who distance yourself from doing what is right.

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

The Lord says,“ What did your people of long ago find wrong with me? Why did they wander so far away from me? They worshiped worthless statues of gods. Then they themselves became worthless.

The Lord says,“ Family of Jacob, listen to me. Pay attention, you people of Israel who are left alive. I have taken good care of you since your life began. I have carried you since you were born as a nation.

Those who think up evil plans are near. They have wandered far away from your law.

I knew how stubborn you were. Your neck muscles were as unbending as iron. Your forehead was as hard as bronze.

“ How long will you childish people love your childish ways? How long will you rude people enjoy making fun of God and others? How long will you foolish people hate knowledge?Pay attention to my warning! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make known to you my teachings.

Brave soldiers have been robbed of everything they had. Now they lie there, sleeping in death. Not one of them can even lift his hands.

At one time you were far away from God. But now you belong to Christ Jesus. He spilled his blood for you. This has brought you near to God.

But they refused to pay attention to the Lord. They were stubborn. They turned their backs and covered their ears.They made their hearts as hard as the hardest stone. They wouldn’t listen to the law. They wouldn’t pay attention to the Lord’ s messages. So the Lord who rules over all was very angry. After all, his Spirit had spoken to his people through the earlier prophets.

Doesn’t wisdom call out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?At the highest point along the way, she takes her place where the paths meet.Beside the gate leading into the city, she cries out at the entrance. She says,“ People, I call out to you. I raise my voice to all human beings.You who are childish, get some good sense. You who are foolish, set your hearts on getting it.

Those who are evil are far from being saved. They don’t want to obey your orders.

Hear this, all you nations. Listen, all you who live in this world.

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!

Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention to what I’m saying.

People of Jacob, listen to me. You are called by the name of Israel. You come from the family line of Judah. You make promises in the name of the Lord. You pray to Israel’s God. But you aren’t honest. You don’t mean what you say.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

You say,“ I am rich. I’ve become wealthy and don’t need anything.” But you don’t realize how pitiful and miserable you have become. You are poor, blind and naked.So here’s my advice. Buy from me gold made pure by fire. Then you will become rich. Buy from me white clothes to wear. Then you will be able to cover the shame of your naked bodies. And buy from me healing lotion to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see.

“ You have spoken with pride against me,” says the Lord.“ But you ask,‘ What have we spoken against you?’“ You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. What do we gain by obeying his laws? And what do we get by pretending to be sad in front of the Lord?But now we call proud people blessed. Things go well with those who do what is evil. And God doesn’t even punish those who test him.’ ”

“ Come together, you people of the nations who escaped from Babylon. Gather together and come into court. Only people who do not know anything would carry around gods that are made out of wood. They pray to false gods that can’t save them.
