God causes those who are alone to live in households; He delivers those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, but rebelled by the sea; the Red Sea.

And Jehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and behold it is a stiff-necked people!

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.

For Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people. I should come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.

And he said, If now I have found favor in Your eyes, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your possession.

Therefore understand that Jehovah your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

for I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against Jehovah, then how much more after my death?

And He said to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

As for them, whether they hear or whether they forbear; for they are a rebellious house; yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

You shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.

But they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not, each man, cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

But I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape the condemnation of Gehenna?

You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always oppose the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

for their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful in His covenant.

And he did evil, because he had not fixed his heart to seek Jehovah.

Nevertheless good things have been found in you, in that you have burned the groves from the land, and have fixed your heart to seek God.

Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not fixed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

who has prepared his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, though not according to the purification of the sanctuary.

for their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful in His covenant.

But you who held fast to Jehovah your God are alive today, every one of you.

Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and of your sons perpetually, because you have fully followed Jehovah my God.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
