And the LORD 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 necks, 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 of great kindness, 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 hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
