4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

3 I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.
48:4Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
48:4For I knew how stubborn you were; the sinews of your neck were iron, your forehead was bronze.
48:4For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.
48:4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
48:4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
48:4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
48:4Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
48:4From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,
48:4Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
