My friends, be careful that none of you have a heart so evil and unbelieving that you will turn away from the living God.

Instead, in order that none of you be deceived by sin and become stubborn, you must help one another every day, as long as the word "Today" in the scripture applies to us.

When the king saw that the frogs were dead, he became stubborn again and, just as the LORD had said, the king would not listen to Moses and Aaron.

Why should you be stubborn, as the king of Egypt and the Egyptians were? Don't forget how God made fools of them until they let the Israelites leave Egypt.

But they would not obey; they were stubborn like their ancestors, who had not trusted in the LORD their God.

Do not be stubborn as they were, but obey the LORD. Come to the Temple in Jerusalem, which the LORD your God has made holy forever, and worship him so that he will no longer be angry with you.

Zedekiah rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to swear in God's name that he would be loyal. He stubbornly refused to repent and return to the LORD, the God of Israel.

But our ancestors grew proud and stubborn and refused to obey your commands.

God is so wise and powerful; no one can stand up against him.

Always obey the LORD and you will be happy. If you are stubborn, you will be ruined.

If you get more stubborn every time you are corrected, one day you will be crushed and never recover.

Yet no one listened or paid any attention. Instead, you became more stubborn and rebellious than your ancestors.

But none of the people of Israel will be willing to listen; they will not even listen to me. All of them are stubborn and defiant.

I will make you as firm as a rock, as hard as a diamond; don't be afraid of those rebels."

But because he became proud, stubborn, and cruel, he was removed from his royal throne and lost his place of honor.

"But my people stubbornly refused to listen. They closed their minds

and made their hearts as hard as rock. Because they would not listen to the teaching which I sent through the prophets who lived long ago, I became very angry.

because their minds are dull, and they have stopped up their ears and have closed their eyes. Otherwise, their eyes would see, their ears would hear, their minds would understand, and they would turn to me, says God, and I would heal them.'

But some of them were stubborn and would not believe, and before the whole group they said evil things about the Way of the Lord. So Paul left them and took the believers with him, and every day he held discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

But you have a hard and stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the Day when God's anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.

For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.

The LORD said to Moses, "How much longer will these people reject me? How much longer will they refuse to trust in me, even though I have performed so many miracles among them?

none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me.

They will never enter the land which I promised to their ancestors. None of those who have rejected me will ever enter it.

"You also made the LORD your God angry when you were at Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth Hattaavah.

Ever since I have known you, you have rebelled against the LORD.

But they rebelled against Almighty God and put him to the test. They did not obey his commandments,

The place was named Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites complained and put the LORD to the test when they asked, "Is the LORD with us or not?"

"Do not put the LORD your God to the test, as you did at Massah.

They deliberately put God to the test by demanding the food they wanted.

They were filled with craving in the desert and put God to the test;

We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did---and they were killed by snakes.
