All this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God.
Harden not your hearts.
It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
They have made they faces harder than a rock.
They made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law.
This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
