“ Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.

他们却不肯听从，扭转肩头，塞耳不听，

他们却不留意；耸肩悖逆，耳朵发沉，不肯听从。

他们却不留意；耸肩悖逆，耳朵发沉，不肯听从。

他们却不理会，背过身去，充耳不闻，

但他们不肯听从，反而硬着颈项，充耳不闻（“反而硬着颈项，充耳不闻”直译是“转着固执的肩膊，使自己的耳朵发沉不听”）。

他們卻不肯聽從，扭轉肩頭，塞耳不聽，

他們卻不留意；聳肩悖逆，耳朵發沉，不肯聽從。

他們卻不留意；聳肩悖逆，耳朵發沉，不肯聽從。

他們卻不理會，背過身去，充耳不聞，

但他們不肯聽從，反而硬著頸項，充耳不聞（“反而硬著頸項，充耳不聞”直譯是“轉着固執的肩膊，使自己的耳朵發沉不聽”）。

你們列祖卻不肯留心聽從，反而扭轉肩頭，使耳朵沉重而不聽；

然而，他們不肯留心聽，竟扭轉頑梗的肩頭，充耳不聞；

惟彼不從、而轉其肩、塞耳不聽、

惟彼不從、強項難馴、掩耳不聽、

惟彼不從、背逆頑梗、塞耳不聽、

“ But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.

But they refused to pay attention to the Lord. They were stubborn. They turned their backs and covered their ears.

But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear.

But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear.

But they refused to pay attention, and turned a stubborn shoulder and plugged their ears from hearing.

“ But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

“ But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.

But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

“ You warned them to return to your Law, but they became proud and obstinate and disobeyed your commands. They did not follow your regulations, by which people will find life if only they obey. They stubbornly turned their backs on you and refused to listen.

Israel is stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. So should the Lord feed her like a lamb in a lush pasture?

Then why do these people stay on their self destructive path? Why do the people of Jerusalem refuse to turn back? They cling tightly to their lies and will not turn around.

Don’t be like your ancestors who would not listen or pay attention when the earlier prophets said to them,‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Turn from your evil ways, and stop all your evil practices.’

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said,“ This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so they can worship me.

and if you will not listen to my servants, the prophets— for I sent them again and again to warn you, but you would not listen to them—then I will destroy this Temple as I destroyed Shiloh, the place where the Tabernacle was located. And I will make Jerusalem an object of cursing in every nation on earth.’”

Again and again the Lord had sent his prophets and seers to warn both Israel and Judah:“ Turn from all your evil ways. Obey my commands and decrees— the entire law that I commanded your ancestors to obey, and that I gave you through my servants the prophets.”But the Israelites would not listen. They were as stubborn as their ancestors who had refused to believe in the Lord their God.They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them.

The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they ignored all his warnings.

“ I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress overwhelm you.“ When they cry for help, I will not answer. Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord.They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them.Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.For simpletons turn away from me— to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.

They refused to obey and did not remember the miracles you had done for them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to take them back to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. You did not abandon them,

These wicked people refuse to listen to me. They stubbornly follow their own desires and worship other gods. Therefore, they will become like this loincloth— good for nothing!

“ But despite all this, they were disobedient and rebelled against you. They turned their backs on your Law, they killed your prophets who warned them to return to you, and they committed terrible blasphemies.

If you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat.But if you turn away and refuse to listen, you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!

They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.

And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.

“ 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.

But the people of Israel won’t listen to you any more than they listen to me! For the whole lot of them are hard hearted and stubborn.

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.

I will punish him and his family and his attendants for their sins. I will pour out on them and on all the people of Jerusalem and Judah all the disasters I promised, for they would not listen to my warnings.’”

No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the Lord or draw near to its God.

“ We will not listen to your messages from the Lord!

“ 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!

Harden the hearts of these people. Plug their ears and shut their eyes. That way, they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their hearts and turn to me for healing.”

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

But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.

Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him

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.

This is what the Lord says:“ Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply,‘ No, that’s not the road we want!’I posted watchmen over you who said,‘ Listen for the sound of the alarm.’ But you replied,‘ No! We won’t pay attention!’
