12. hearts . . . adamant--
(Eze 3:9; 11:19).
Lord . . . sent in Spirit by . . . prophets--that is, sent by the
former prophets inspired with His Spirit.
therefore . . . great wrath--
(2Ch 36:16).
As they pushed from them the yoke of obedience, God laid on them the
yoke of oppression. As they made their heart hard as adamant, God brake
their hard hearts with judgments. Hard hearts must expect hard
treatment. The harder the stone, the harder the blow of the hammer to
break it.
