9 Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah,* let Jehovah,* please, go along in the midst of us,+ because it is a stiff-necked people,+ and you have to forgive our error and our sin,+ and you must take us as your possession.”+

6 And you must know that it is not for your righteousness that Jehovah your God is giving you this good land to take possession of it; for you are a stiff-necked people.+

27 For I—I well know your rebelliousness+ and your stiff neck.+ If while I am yet alive with YOU today, YOU have proved rebellious in behavior toward Jehovah,*+ then how much more so after my death!
