But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. |
Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward. |
“Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went (or they were) backward and not forward. |
But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. |
But they would not listen and obey, or bend their ear to Me, but followed the counsels and the stubborn promptings of their own evil hearts and minds, and turned their back and went in reverse instead of forward. |
