These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the Word, immediately receive it with joy;

and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution arises on account of the Word, immediately they stumble.

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,

I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in kindness. Break up your fallow ground. For it is time to seek Jehovah, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

Shall horses run on the rock? Or will one plow there with oxen? For you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

And when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

That which was sown on stony places, this is he who hears the Word and immediately receives it with joy;

Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the Word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of trial draw back away.
