but they did not listen or obey. They stubbornly refused to pay attention or accept my discipline.

他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项不听，不受教训。”

他们却不听从，也不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项不听，不肯领受训诲。

他们却不听从，也不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项不听，不肯领受训诲。

然而，他们却不听，毫不理会，顽固不化，不肯受教。

你们的列祖却没有听从，毫不在意，反而硬着颈项不肯听，不受管教。’”

他們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項不聽，不受教訓。」

他們卻不聽從，也不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項不聽，不肯領受訓誨。

他們卻不聽從，也不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項不聽，不肯領受訓誨。

然而，他們卻不聽，毫不理會，頑固不化，不肯受教。

你們的列祖卻沒有聽從，毫不在意，反而硬著頸項不肯聽，不受管教。’”

然而他們卻不聽從，不傾耳以聽，逕硬着脖子不聽，不接受管教。

惟彼不從、不側耳以聽、乃強厥項、不聽命、不受教、

爾祖不遵命、不傾耳以聽、乃強厥項、不聽訓言、不承教誨。

爾祖不遵命、不傾耳以聽、強項不聽、不承教誨、

Yet they did not listen or pay attention; they were stiff-necked and would not listen or respond to discipline.

But they did not listen. They did not pay any attention to me. They were stubborn. They would not listen or pay attention when I corrected them.

Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction.

They wouldn’t listen or pay attention but became obstinate, not listening or accepting discipline.

Yet they did not listen or incline their ears, but stiffened their necks so as not to listen or accept discipline.

But they did not obey nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

They wouldn’t listen or pay attention but became obstinate, not listening or accepting discipline.

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay any attention to me. They stubbornly refused to pay attention or to respond to any discipline.’

But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

They have returned to the sins of their ancestors. They have refused to listen to me and are worshiping other gods. Israel and Judah have both broken the covenant I made with their ancestors.

Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ I will bring disaster upon this city and its surrounding towns as I promised, because you have stubbornly refused to listen to me.’”

“ Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.They made their hearts as hard as stone, so they could not hear the instructions or the messages that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had sent them by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. That is why the Lord of Heaven’s Armies was so angry with them.

“ But their children, too, rebelled against me. They refused to keep my decrees and follow my regulations, even though obedience would have given them life. And they also violated my Sabbath days. So again I threatened to pour out my fury on them in the wilderness.

My people have turned their backs on me and have refused to return. Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey.

“ You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!

I thought,‘ Surely they will have reverence for me now! Surely they will listen to my warnings. Then I won’t need to strike again, destroying their homes.’ But no, they get up early to continue their evil deeds.

“ But my people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward.From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my servants, the prophets— day in and day out.But my people have not listened to me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful— even worse than their ancestors.

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

“ But the people of Israel rebelled against me, and they refused to obey my decrees there in the wilderness. They wouldn’t obey my regulations even though obedience would have given them life. They also violated my Sabbath days. So I threatened to pour out my fury on them, and I made plans to utterly consume them in the wilderness.

Say to them,‘ This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips.

Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.

Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance

For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.

Listen to this warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn from you in disgust. Listen, or I will turn you into a heap of ruins, a land where no one lives.”

“ Then you will give them the Lord’s reply:‘ It is because your ancestors were unfaithful to me. They worshiped other gods and served them. They abandoned me and did not obey my word.And you are even worse than your ancestors! You stubbornly follow your own evil desires and refuse to listen to me.

And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”

For they had rejected my regulations, refused to follow my decrees, and violated my Sabbath days. Their hearts were given to their idols.

You will say,“ How I hated discipline! If only I had not ignored all the warnings!

Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.

Time after time I sent you prophets, who told you,“ Turn from your wicked ways, and start doing things right. Stop worshiping other gods so that you might live in peace here in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you would not listen to me or obey me.
