New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 29
1 Those stiff-necked in the face of reproof
in an instant will be shattered beyond cure.[a]
Footnotes
- 29:1 The idiom “to stiffen one’s neck” occurs in a context of not heeding a message in Dt 10:16 and 2 Kgs 17:14. To stiffen one’s neck in this sense risks having it broken, as in 1 Sm 4:18.
