2 Kings 17:14–17

⁵¹¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹¶ Ye stifnecked and vncircumcised in heart, and eares, ye doe alwayes resist the holy Ghost? as your fathers did, so doe ye.

²⁷For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?

²⁷For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiffe necke: Beholde, while I am yet aliue with you this day, yee haue bene rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him sweare by God: but he stiffened his necke, and hardened his heart from turning vnto the LORD God of Israel.

³²Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,

³²Yet in this thing ye did not beleeue the LORD your God,

⁹And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

⁹And the LORD said vnto Moses, ^*I haue seene this people, and behold, it is a stiffenecked people.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an euill heart of vnbeleefe, in departing from the liuing God.

⁷Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

⁷Wherfore as the holy Ghost saith, ^*To day if ye will heare his voyce,

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, in the day of temptation in the wildernesse:

⁴Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

^4†Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse:

²⁶Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

^26*Yet they hearkned not vnto me, nor inclined their eare, but hardened their neck, they did worse then their fathers.

¹HE, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

¹¶ ^†He that being often reproued, hardeneth his necke, shal suddenly be destroied, and that without remedy.

²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

^24†Yea, they despised the pleasant land: they beleeued not his word:

²²Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²²Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:

³²For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

³²For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.

⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

⁵But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnes of God leadeth thee to repentance?

⁵But after thy hardnesse, and impenitent heart, ^*treasurest vp vnto thy selfe wrath, against the day of wrath, and reuelation of the righteous iudgement of God:

³⁰Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

³¹Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

³⁰Take heede to thy selfe that thou be not snared ^†by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee, and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serue their gods? euen so will I doe likewise.

³¹Thou shalt not doe so vnto the LORD thy God: for euery ^†abomination to the LORD which hee hateth, haue they done vnto their gods: for euen their sonnes and their daughters they haue burnt in the fire to their gods.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²¹They haue mooued me to ielousie with that which is not god, they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: And ^*I will moue them to ielousie with those which are not a people, I will prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

⁵¶ Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁵¶ Thus sayth the LORD, What iniquitie haue your fathers found in me, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?

²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²¹Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened:

²²Professing themselues to be wise, they became fooles:

²³And changed the glory of the vncorruptible ^*God, into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birdes, and foure footed beasts, and creeping things:

¹³For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

¹³For all the sinnes of Baasha and the sinnes of Elah his sonne, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sinne, in prouoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

⁶And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁹The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?

^9*‖†The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; loe, they haue reiected the word of the LORD, and what wisedome is in them?

²But did that which was euil in the sight of the LORD, like vnto the abominations of the heathen, ^*whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

⁹So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.

⁹So Manasseh made Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁵And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

¹⁶But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

¹²For they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹¹And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD caried away before them, and wrought wicked things to prouoke the LORD to anger.

⁸And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

⁸And hee saith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feast. And they bare it.
