But they refused to hearken; they wilfully were ignorant, ant, would not consider nor understand. Pulled away the shoulder; next they shift from doing their duty, withdraw their shoulder from the yoke of the law, Nehemiah 9:29 Hosea 4:16. And stopped their ears; and to make it highest contempt, they act the deaf man, stop their ears, and so turn their backs on God. That they should not hear; all this out of an obstinate resolution to be unacquainted with God's will and their own duty.
