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 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!

This is what the Lord says:“ What did your ancestors find wrong with me that led them to stray so far from me? They worshiped worthless idols, only to become worthless themselves.

“ Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, all you who remain in Israel. I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born.

Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.

For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are as unbending as iron. Your heads are as hard as bronze.

“ How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise.

Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.

But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

“ Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.They made their hearts as hard as stone, so they could not hear the instructions or the messages that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had sent them by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. That is why the Lord of Heaven’s Armies was so angry with them.

Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice!On the hilltop along the road, she takes her stand at the crossroads.By the gates at the entrance to the town, on the road leading in, she cries aloud,“ I call to you, to all of you! I raise my voice to all people.You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding.

The wicked are far from rescue, for they do not bother with your decrees.

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, everyone in the world!

“ You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!

Listen to me; listen, and pay close attention.

“ Listen to me, O family of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel and born into the family of Judah. Listen, you who take oaths in the name of the Lord and call on the God of Israel. You don’t keep your promises,

for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,“ Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”

You say,‘ I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.So I advise you to buy gold from me— gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.

“ You have said terrible things about me,” says the Lord.“ But you say,‘ What do you mean? What have we said against you?’“ You have said,‘ What’s the use of serving God? What have we gained by obeying his commands or by trying to show the Lord of Heaven’s Armies that we are sorry for our sins?From now on we will call the arrogant blessed. For those who do evil get rich, and those who dare God to punish them suffer no harm.’”

“ Gather together and come, you fugitives from surrounding nations. What fools they are who carry around their wooden idols and pray to gods that cannot save!
