One who becomes stiff-necked,
after many reprimands
will be shattered instantly—
beyond recovery.

Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.

The ungodly fleeth, no man chasing him; but the righteous standeth stiff as a lion.

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto your head, and chains about your neck.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:

So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.

Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
