8 In accord with all their doings that they have done from the day of my bringing them up out of Egypt+ until this day in that they kept leaving me+ and serving other gods,+ that is the way they are doing also to you.

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;

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.+

26 But they did not listen to me, and they did not incline their ear,+ but they kept hardening their neck.+ They acted worse than their forefathers!+

12 And their heart+ they set as an emery stone to keep from obeying the law+ and the words that Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit,+ by means of the former prophets;+ so that there occurred great indignation on the part of Jehovah of armies.”+
