For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze.

I knew how stubborn you were. Your neck muscles were as unbending as iron. Your forehead was as hard as bronze.

Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass,

For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are as unbending as iron. Your heads are as hard as bronze.

Because I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is iron and your forehead bronze,

Because I knew that you were obstinate, And your neck was an iron sinew, And your brow bronze,

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

Because I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is iron and your forehead bronze,

Because I knew that thou[ art] obstinate, and thy neck[ is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

I did this because I know how stubborn you are. Your neck muscles are like iron and your forehead like bronze.

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

“ You men who are stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I have seen this people, and behold, they are an obstinate people.

A person often rebuked who becomes obstinate Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.

But they refused to pay attention, and turned a stubborn shoulder and plugged their ears from hearing.They also made their hearts as hard as a diamond so that they could not hear the Law and the words which the Lord of armies had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from the Lord of armies.

Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’ ”

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way.”

“ This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says:‘ Behold, I am going to bring on this city and all its towns the entire disaster that I have declared against it, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to listen to My words.’ ”

For I know your rebellion and your stubbornness; behold, as long as I have been alive with you until today, you have been rebellious against the Lord; how much more, then, after my death?

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear allegiance by God. But he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called“ today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

“ Listen to Me, you stubborn minded, Who are far from righteousness.

For the Lord had said to Moses,“ Say to the sons of Israel,‘ You are an obstinate people; if I were to go up in your midst for just one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your jewelry that I may know what I shall do to you.’ ”

So circumcise your heart, and do not stiffen your neck any longer.

However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.

But when his heart was arrogant and his spirit became so overbearing that he behaved presumptuously, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his dignity was taken away from him.

Now do not stiffen your neck like your fathers, but yield to the Lord and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, that His burning anger may turn away from you.

Lord, do Your eyes not look for honesty? You have struck them, But they did not weaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to accept discipline. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.

Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a prostitute’s forehead; You refused to be ashamed.

“ But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy; And You did not abandon them.

And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then He said to me,“ Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to the people who understand you;yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. The entire house of Israel certainly is stubborn and obstinate.Behold, I have made your face just as hard as their faces, and your forehead just as hard as their foreheads.Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, since they are a rebellious house.”

Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did more evil than their fathers.

But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried out again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,
