Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.

And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

Therefore, circumcise your hearts and don’t be stiff-necked any longer.

For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are rebelling against the Lord now, while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after I am dead!
