10 And Moses and Aaron performed all these miracles before Pharʹaoh;+ but Jehovah would let Pharʹaoh’s heart become obstinate, so that he did not send the sons of Israel away from his land.+

13 And even against King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar he rebelled,+ who had made him swear by God;+ and he kept stiffening+ his neck and hardening+ his heart so as not to return to Jehovah the God of Israel.

23 but they did not listen or incline their ear,+ and they proceeded to harden their neck+ in order not to hear and in order to receive no discipline.”’+
