TSK · Zechariah 7:12

Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

And you solemnly admonished them in order to return them to your law, but they behaved presumptuously and did not obey your commandments. They sinned against your ordinances– those by which an individual, if he obeys them, will live. They boldly turned from you; they rebelled and did not obey.

For you hate instruction and reject my words.

I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.

LORD, I know you look for faithfulness. But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse. Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected. They have become as hardheaded as a rock. They refuse to change their ways.

The sin of Judah is engraved with an iron chisel on their stone-hard hearts. It is inscribed with a diamond point on the horns of their altars.

King Hezekiah and all the people of Judah did not put him to death, did they? Did not Hezekiah show reverence for the LORD and seek the LORD’s favor? Did not the LORD forgo destroying them as he threatened he would? But we are on the verge of bringing great disaster on ourselves.”

The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted, and you must say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’

I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; I will remove the hearts of stone from their bodies and I will give them tender hearts,

“All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.

Should you not have obeyed the words that the LORD cried out through the former prophets when Jerusalem was peacefully inhabited and her surrounding cities, the Negev, and the foothills were also populated?

so that although they look they may look but not see, and although they hear they may hear but not understand, so they may not repent and be forgiven.”

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”’

and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.

for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
