不要像他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆、心不坚定，向上帝心不忠实之辈。

不要像他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆、心不坚定，向神心不忠实之辈。

也不会像自己的祖先那样顽梗叛逆，对上帝不忠，心怀二意。

免得他们像他们的列祖，成了顽梗悖逆的一代，心不坚定的一代，他们的心对神不忠。

免得他們像他們的列祖，成了頑梗悖逆的一代，心不堅定的一代，他們的心對神不忠。

免致像他們祖宗、做頑梗悖逆的一代，做居心不堅定、心對上帝不忠實的一代。

以免像他們的祖先，成為頑梗悖逆、心裡不堅定、靈裡對神不忠實的一代。

勿效厥祖、斯代頑梗悖逆、其心不正、其神不堅於上帝兮、

毋濟祖惡、如祖悖逆、其心不正、其志不立、以事上帝兮。

莫傚其列祖違背叛逆、居心不中正、向天主意不誠實、

毋效乃父。頑梗成性。懷主不篤。厥心不正。

They would not be like their ancestors— a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.

They would not be like their people who lived long ago. Those people were stubborn. They refused to obey God. They turned away from him. Their spirits were not faithful to him.

and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then they will not be like their ancestors— stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God.

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.

their hearts were insincere toward him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

The LORD also said to Moses,“ I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.

For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are rebelling against the LORD now, while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after I am dead!

“‘ Then I said to their children in the wilderness,“ Don’t follow the statutes of your fathers, defile yourselves with their idols, or keep their ordinances.

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go up with you because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise, I might destroy you on the way.”

“ You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit. As your ancestors did, you do also.

Don’t be like your ancestors and your brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their ancestors so that he made them an object of horror as you yourselves see.

But they would not listen. Instead they became obstinate like their ancestors who did not believe the LORD their God.

As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer—

Rehoboam did what was evil, because he did not determine in his heart to seek the LORD.

My brothers who went with me caused the people to lose heart, but I followed the LORD my God completely.On that day Moses swore to me,‘ The land where you have set foot will be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever, because you have followed the LORD my God completely.’

But you who have remained faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today.

You have been rebelling against the LORD ever since I have known you.

He said to me,“ Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to the rebellious pagans who have rebelled against me. The Israelites and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this day.The descendants are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you must say to them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says.’Whether they listen or refuse to listen— for they are a rebellious house— they will know that a prophet has been among them.“ But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words, even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.Speak my words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.“ And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you: Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”

However, the high places were not taken away; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their ancestors.

For the LORD said to Moses,“ Tell the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. If I went up with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.”

Then he said,“ My Lord, if I have indeed found favor with you, my Lord, please go with us( even though this is a stiff-necked people), forgive our iniquity and our sin, and accept us as your own possession.”

However, some good is found in you, for you have eradicated the Asherah poles from the land and have determined in your heart to seek God.”

Our ancestors in Egypt did not grasp the significance of your wondrous works or remember your many acts of faithful love; instead, they rebelled by the sea— the Red Sea.

whoever sets his whole heart on seeking God, the LORD, the God of his ancestors, even though not according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”

The LORD also said to me,‘ I have seen this people, and indeed, they are a stiff-necked people.

“‘ But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. None of them threw away the abhorrent things that they prized, and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them, exhausting my anger against them within the land of Egypt.

They are a rebellious people, deceptive children, children who do not want to listen to the LORD’s instruction.

Understand that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.“ Remember and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. You have been rebelling against the LORD from the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place.

So you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.Fill up, then, the measure of your ancestors’ sins!“ Snakes! Brood of vipers! How can you escape being condemned to hell?

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,

God provides homes for those who are deserted. He leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a scorched land.
