28 All of them are the most stubborn men,*+ walking about as slanderers+—copper and iron. They are all of them ruinous.+

14 but they kept on walking after the stubbornness of their heart+ and after the Baʹal images,*+ about which their fathers had taught them;+

8 But they did not listen or incline their ear,+ but they kept walking each one in the stubbornness of their bad heart;+ and so I brought upon them all the words of this covenant that I commanded [them] to do, but that they did not do.’”

12 And YOU yourselves have acted worse in YOUR doing than YOUR fathers,+ and here YOU are walking each one after the stubbornness+ of his bad heart in not obeying me.+

51 “Obstinate* men and uncircumcised in hearts+ and ears, YOU are always resisting the holy spirit; as YOUR forefathers did, so YOU do.+
