But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.

But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.

and they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, to turn back from their wickedness, not to make perfume to other gods,

But they listened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

But they gave no attention, and their ears were not open so that they might be turned from their evil-doing and from burning perfume to other gods.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to forbear offering unto other gods.

But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear, so that they would convert from their evil, and so that they would not sacrifice to strange gods.

Et non audierunt et non inclinarunt aurem suam, ut reverterentur a malitia sua, et non offerrent suffitum diis alienis:

But they hearkened not -
1. They disregarded the authority of their God.
2. They were not moved by the entreaties of their most affectionate Father.
3. In abominations they delighted. And,
4. They loved that which God hated; and, apparently, because he hated it.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear,.... To the prophets sent unto them; to God by the prophets; to the words of his mouth, particularly to the above pathetic expostulation with them; at least, if they heard the words said, they did not attend unto them; they had not such an effect upon them, nor were they wrought upon by them, so as
to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods; to turn from their sins in general, and from their idolatry in particular; one instance of which is given, and which is put for the whole of idolatrous worship.
