³ Go up to a land ^(A)flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are ^[a](B)an obstinate people, and ^(C)I might destroy you on the way.”

⁵ For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are ^[a](A)an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.’”

⁹ He said, “^(A)If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though ^[a](B)the people are so obstinate, and ^(C)pardon our iniquity and our sin, and ^(D)take us as Your own ^[b]possession.”

⁵¹ “You men who are ^(A)stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.
