And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

But they would not give attention, turning their backs and stopping their ears from hearing;

And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.

But they would not hearken, and they turned away the shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to hear.

Zechariah 7:12

And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.

And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the law, and the words, That Jehovah of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And their is great wrath from Jehovah of Hosts.

And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land hath been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!

And I dispersed them throughout all kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate behind them, so that no man passed through or returned: and they changed the delightful land into a wilderness.
