Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.

And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and have done worse than their fathers.

And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.

Yet they listened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

But still they took no note and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff, doing worse than their fathers.

But they have not listened to me, nor have they inclined their ear. Instead, they have stiffened their neck, and they have behaved worse than their fathers did.

Et non audierunt me, et non inclinaverunt aurem suam; et (pro sed) obdurarunt cervicem suam, perverse egerunt prae patribus suis.

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:

hardened . . . neck-- (Deuteronomy 31:27; Isaiah 48:4; Acts 7:51).
worse than their fathers-- (Jeremiah 16:12). In Jeremiah 7:22 He had said, "your fathers"; here He says, "their fathers"; the change to the third person marks growing alienation from them. He no longer addresses themselves, as it would be a waste of words in the case of such hardened rebels.
