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!
26 “However, they became disobedient+ and rebelled against you+ and kept casting your law behind their back,+ and your own prophets they killed,+ who bore witness against them to bring them back to you;+ and they went on committing acts of great disrespect.+
9 Like a diamond,* harder than flint,+ I have made* your forehead. You must not be afraid of them,+ and you must not be struck with terror at their faces,+ for they are a rebellious house.”+
