14 and they did not listen but kept hardening their necks+ like the necks of their forefathers that had not exercised faith+ in Jehovah their God;

17 So they refused to listen,+ and they did not remember+ your wonderful acts that you performed with them, but they hardened their neck+ and appointed a head+ to return to their servitude in Egypt.* But you are a God* of acts of forgiveness,+ gracious+ and merciful,+ slow to anger+ and abundant+ in loving-kindness, and you did not leave them.+

29 A man* repeatedly reproved+ but making his neck hard+ will suddenly be broken, and that without healing.+

15 “This is what Jehovah of armies, the God* of Israel, has said, ‘Here I am bringing upon this city and upon all its cities all the calamity that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their neck in order not to obey my words.’”+

5 But according to your hardness+ and unrepentant heart+ you are storing up wrath+ for yourself on the day of wrath+ and of the revealing+ of God’s righteous judgment.+

21 But as respects Israel he says: “All day long I have spread out my hands toward a people that is disobedient+ and talks back.”+
