22 Nevertheless, the magic-practicing priests of Egypt proceeded to do the same thing with their secret arts;+ so that Pharʹaoh’s heart continued to be obstinate,+ and he did not listen to them, just as Jehovah had spoken.+

29 Although you would bear witness+ against them to bring them back to your law,+ they themselves even acted presumptuously+ and did not listen to your commandments; and against your own judicial decisions+ they sinned,+ which, if a man* will do, he must also live by means of them.*+ And they kept giving a stubborn shoulder,+ and their neck they hardened,+ and they did not listen.+

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

30 “Woe to the stubborn sons,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah, “[those disposed] to carry out counsel, but not that from me;+ and to pour out a libation,* but not with my spirit, in order to add sin to sin;+

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.+
