King James Version
"But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction."
— Jeremiah 17:23, King James Version
“But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction. ”
“But they didn't listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not 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 did not hear, nor incline their ear: but hardened their neck, that they might not hear me, and might not receive instruction.”
“But they gave no attention and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff so that they might not give ear and might not get teaching.”
“But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.”
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord.
