Exegesis
The causal clause ki hikshu et-orpam levilti shemoa et-devarai {כִּי הִקְשׁוּ אֶת־עָרְפָם לְבִלְתִּי שְׁמֹעַ אֶת־דְּבָרָי | kî hiqšū ʾêṯ ʿorpām ləbiltî šəmōaʿ ʾêṯ dəvarāy} employs a purpose-negative infinitive to express their refusal: they have hardened their neck—idiom for obstinate resistance—so as not to hear God’s words. The English rendition preserves Hebrew structure while conveying divine authority and imminent judgment.

In context — Jeremiah 19:15
