And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law.Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances,By which if a man observes them he shall live.And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did more evil than their fathers.
Yet they did not listen or incline their ears, but stiffened their necks in order not to listen or take correction.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am about to bring on this city and all its towns the entire calamity that I have declared against it, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to heed My words.’”
