Exegesis

A chain of participles (hameanim {הַמֵּאֲנִים | ha-me-ʼa-nim} “refusing,” haholkhim {הַהֹלְכִים | ha-hol-ki-m} “walking”) and infinitives (lishmoa {לִשְׁמוֹעַ | li-sh-mo-a‘} “to hear,” leovdam {לְעָבְדָם | le-av-dam} “to serve,” ulehishtachavot {וּלְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת | u-le-his-ta-cha-vot} “to bow down”) portrays persistent idolatrous conduct.

In context — Jeremiah 13:10

This evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart , and go after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, shall be like this sash, which will not succeed for anything.
