KJV ORIGINAL
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They literally made their hearts like diamond — the hardest stone you can find — so they wouldn't have to listen to God's law or hear what he was saying through his prophets. Because of that stubborn refusal to listen, God's anger came down hard on them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you make your heart stone-cold to God's voice, don't be surprised when consequences follow.
