26 et non audierunt me nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed induraverunt cervicem et peius operati sunt quam patres eorum

Jeremiah 7:26 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:26

Yet they hearkened not unto me
Speaking by the prophets: nor inclined their ear;
to what was said to them; would not listen to it, and much less obey what was commanded them: but hardened their neck;
and so became stiffnecked, and would not submit to bear the yoke of the law: they did worse than their fathers;
every generation grew more and more wicked, and went on to be so until the measure of their iniquity was filled up; hence it follows:

Jeremiah 7:26 In-Context

24 et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed abierunt in voluntatibus et pravitate cordis sui mali factique sunt retrorsum et non in ante

25 a die qua egressi sunt patres eorum de terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas per diem consurgens diluculo et mittens

26 et non audierunt me nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed induraverunt cervicem et peius operati sunt quam patres eorum

27 et loqueris ad eos omnia verba haec et non audient te et vocabis eos et non respondebunt tibi

28 et dices ad eos haec est gens quae non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui nec recepit disciplinam periit fides et ablata est de ore eorum
