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, 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, not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
3 I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, 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 so I have long ago declared them to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear them; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them.
6 Thou heardest, see all this; and ye, will not ye declare it? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:
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;
