“Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;”
Verse in context — Isaiah 48
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I shewed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
