What house will -you build me? says the Lord; or what is the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ Has not my hand made all these things? ⁵¹ You stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, you do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so also do you. ⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute?
