But they did not listen, nor extend their ear, but walked in their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.

Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My Words. And they went after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.

Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken Me, says Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have bowed down to them, and have forsaken Me, and have not kept My Law.

And you have done worse than your fathers; for behold, you walk, each one, after the stubbornness of his evil heart, and do not listen to Me.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their necks so that they might not hear My Words.

because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze.

But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

because they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

Nevertheless, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and did not keep My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.

But they refused to heed, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and they made their ears heavy that they might not hear.

And they made their heart adamant so as not to hear the Law and the Words which Jehovah of Hosts has sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. And great wrath came from Jehovah of Hosts.

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

A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing.

O Jerusalem, be instructed, lest My soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.

And they have turned the back to Me, and not the face; though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Turn back now each man from his evil way, and do good, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But you have not extended your ear, nor heeded Me.

seeing as how you hate correction, and cast off My Words behind you?

to receive instruction in wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

The wise hears and increases learning, and the one of understanding gets wise counsel,

and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge, rather than choice gold.

I said, Surely you will fear Me; you will receive instruction; so that her dwelling should not be cut off, all that I appointed for her. But they rose up early; they corrupted all their doings.

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.
