¹⁴ Nevertheless they would not hear, but ^(A)stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who ^(B)did not believe in the Lord their God.

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

⁵¹ “You ^(A)stiff-necked^[a] and ^(B)uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

^27 (A)for I know your rebellion and your ^(B)stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death?

¹² Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

Be Faithful^(A)

⁷ Therefore, as ^(B)the Holy Spirit says:

⁴ Or do you despise ^(A)the riches of His goodness, ^(B)forbearance, and ^(C)longsuffering, ^(D)not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But in accordance with your hardness and your ^[a]impenitent heart ^(E)you are ^[b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

^26 (A)Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but ^(B)stiffened their neck. ^(C)They did worse than their fathers.

Happy Is He Who Keeps the Law
