6 For our fathers have acted unfaithfully+ and have done what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah our God,+ so that they left him+ and turned around their face away from the tabernacle of Jehovah+ and offered the back of the neck.

27 They are saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’+ and to a stone, ‘You yourself brought me to birth.’ But to me they have turned the back of the neck and not the face.+ And in the time of their calamity they will say, ‘Do rise up and save us!’+

24 But they did not listen, neither did they incline their ear,+ but they went walking in the counsels in the stubbornness of their bad heart,+ so that they became backward in direction and not forward,+

11 But they kept refusing to pay attention,+ and they kept giving a stubborn shoulder,+ and their ears they made too unresponsive to hear.+
