“ I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses,“ and they are a stiff-necked people.

“ I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses.“ They are stubborn.

And the Lord said to Moses,“ I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

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

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I have seen this people, and behold, they are an obstinate people.

And the Lord said to Moses,“ I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!

And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

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

And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it[ is] a stiffnecked people:

Then the LORD said to Moses:“ I have seen this people. Look what a stiff-necked people they are!

Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”

“ 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!

For the Lord had told Moses to tell them,“ You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you. Remove your jewelry and fine clothes while I decide what to do with you.”

And he said,“ O Lord, if it is true that I have found favor with you, then please travel with us. Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please forgive our iniquity and our sins. Claim us as your own special possession.”

For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are as unbending as iron. Your heads are as hard as bronze.

“ The Lord also said to me,‘ I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are.

For I know how rebellious and stubborn you are. Even now, while I am still alive and am here with you, you have rebelled against the Lord. How much more rebellious will you be after my death!

You must recognize that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land because you are good, for you are not— you are a stubborn people.

Do not be stubborn, as they were, but submit yourselves to the Lord. Come to his Temple, which he has set apart as holy forever. Worship the Lord your God so that his fierce anger will turn away from you.

Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.

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

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,

Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.

“ Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.They made their hearts as hard as stone, so they could not hear the instructions or the messages that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had sent them by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. That is why the Lord of Heaven’s Armies was so angry with them.

I have seen your adultery and lust, and your disgusting idol worship out in the fields and on the hills. What sorrow awaits you, Jerusalem! How long before you are pure?”

Yes, I have seen something horrible in Ephraim and Israel: My people are defiled by prostituting themselves with other gods!
