¹⁴ And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

²⁷ For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?

⁵¹ You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

¹² My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

⁷ And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

⁸ Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

⁵ But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;

²⁶ But still they took no note and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff, doing worse than their fathers.

³² For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.

²² Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

¹³ And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from the Lord, the God of Israel.

³² But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

⁹ And the Lord said to Moses, I have been watching this people, and I see that they are a stiff-necked people.
