26. Formal Translation Yet they did not listen to Me {Yahweh, Covenant Enforcer}, nor did they incline their ear, but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers. |
26. Dynamic Translation Still, they refused to listen to Me {Yahweh, Judging Sovereign}, did not lend an ear, and stiffened their neck; they acted even more wickedly than their forebears. |
