Yahweh Refines Stubborn Israel

3 “I declared the former things long ago
And they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
 4 “Because I know that you are obstinate,
And your neck is an iron sinew
And your forehead bronze,
 5 Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before they took place I proclaimed them to you,
So that you would not say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my graven image and my molten image have commanded them.’
