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

But they did not obey, nor extend their ear, but made their neck stiff, so that they might not hear nor 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.
