And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and forsookest them not.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; (Let) thy glory (be) above all the earth.
yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.
But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
