⁸ Now don't you be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Yahweh your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

¹⁰ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

⁹ Yahweh said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and, behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

¹⁶ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

¹³ For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

¹⁴ "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me,{TR and NU read "Go away" instead of "Get behind me"} Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

¹³ Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴ For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

¹⁶ Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

¹⁸ Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

²² But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

²¹ But as to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."

²² Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

⁴⁹ He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, And a band of angels of evil.

¹⁷ Until I entered God's sanctuary, And considered their latter end.

³¹ Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.

¹⁷ You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

¹⁵ If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.

²⁶ Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn't turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.

²⁴ All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

¹¹ Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive of your brothers; for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you.

¹³ and said to them, You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

¹³ He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹⁹ They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.

² So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

²⁴ They have seen your processions, God, Even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

¹³ You shall fear Yahweh your God; and him shall you serve, and shall swear by his name.
