Behold, you have risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.

And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods, to serve them and to worship them: they did not abandon their own doings, nor their stubborn ways.

but they hearkened not to Me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.

but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship.]

(And you sinned worse than your fathers- for behold, you walk everyone after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to listen to Me).

And you, fill up then, the measure of your fathers' guilt.

"You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.
