Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
Listen to me, you stubborn people who are far away from doing what's right:
God is calling out to stubborn, rebellious people who have turned away from living righteously, asking them to listen to what He has to say.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Isaiah, the prophet is addressing the people of Judah during a time of impending judgment from foreign powers like Babylon, warning them about the consequences of their idolatry and unfaithfulness to God. Isaiah 46 specifically highlights the contrast between the powerless idols that the Babylonians worshiped and the sovereign God who faithfully sustains His people. God is calling out to the stubborn-hearted individuals among Judah, who have distanced themselves from righteousness, urging them to listen and return to Him.
