Isaiah 46:13

"Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!"

Key Reflection

This verse challenges those who resist God's truth and fail to seek his righteousness, emphasizing that true wisdom lies in heeding divine guidance rather than stubbornly opposing it. The description of the listeners as "stubborn-hearted" highlights their refusal to accept what is right and true.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I bring near my righteousness -The word ‘righteousness’ here evidently denotes his truth; the fulfillment of his promises. His righteous and true character would be manifested to them so plainly and clearly that they would be able no longer to doubt. It would not be remote in time, or in place, but it would be so near that they could see it, and so plain that they could no longer doubt or misunderstand it. And my salvation shall not tarry -The people shall be delivered from their bondage at the exact time which has been predicted. I will place salvation in Zion -Zion or Jerusalem shall be rebuilt, and salvation shall emanate from that as from a center to the whole world.
