“Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;”
Verse in context — Isaiah 48
(for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Armies is his name):
I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they happened.
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
