This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it...."Well, the part I elided does describe some of the consequences of their stubbornness - they will be terrified by enemies, etc., but the good news is that the Lord is watching, waiting, wanting to be gracious and to show his compassion for them.Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
Isaiah 30.15,18
