- "Take heed,ª° brethren,ª lestª there beª° inª anyª of youª an evilª heartª of unbelief,ª in² departingª° fromª the livingª° God.ª ... Butª exhortª° one anotherª daily,ªªª whileª² it¹ is calledª° To day;ª lestª anyª ofª youª be hardenedª° through the deceitfulnessª of sin.ª" {Hbr 3:12-13} + "But when Pharaohª sawª° that¹ there was¹ respite,ª he hardenedª°¹ his heart,ª and hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ them; as¹ the LORDª had said.ª°" {Exd 8:15} + "Wherefore¹ then do ye hardenª°¹ your hearts,ª as¹ the Egyptiansª and Pharaohª hardenedª°¹ their hearts?ª when¹ he had wrought wonderfullyª° among them, did they not¹ let the people go,ª° and they departed?²°¹" {1Sm 6:6} + "Notwithstanding they would not¹ hear,ª° but hardenedª°¹ their necks,ª like to the neckª of their fathers,ª that¹ did not¹ believeª° in the LORDª their God.ª" {2Kg 17:14} + "Now¹ be ye not stiffnecked,ªª°¹ as your fathersª [were, but] yieldª°¹ yourselves² unto the LORD,ª and enterª° into his sanctuary,ª which¹ he hath sanctifiedª° for ever:ª and serveª°¹ the LORDª your God,ª that the fiercenessª of his wrathª may turn awayª° from¹ you." {2Ch 30:8} + "And he also¹ rebelledª° against kingª Nebuchadnezzar,ª who¹ had made him swearª° by God:ª but he stiffenedª°¹ his neck,ª and hardenedª°¹ his heartª from turningª°¹ unto¹ the LORDª Godª of Israel.ª" {2Ch 36:13} + "But they¹ and our fathersª dealt proudly,ª° and hardenedª°¹ their necks,ª and hearkenedª° not¹ to¹ thy commandments,ª" {Neh 9:16} + "[He is] wiseª in heart,ª and mightyª in strength:ª who¹ hath hardenedª° [himself] against¹ him, and hath prospered?ª°" {Job 9:4} + "Happyª [is] the manª that fearethª° alway:ª but he that hardenethª° his heartª shall fallª° into mischief.ª" {Prv 28:14} + "He,ª that being often reprovedª hardenethª° [his] neck,ª shall suddenlyª be destroyed,ª° and that without¹ remedy.ª" {Prv 29:1} + "Yet they hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ me, nor¹ inclinedª°¹ their ear,ª but hardenedª°¹ their neck:ª they did worseª° than their fathers.ª¹" {Jer 7:26} + "But the houseª of Israelª willª° not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ thee; for¹ they willª° not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ me: for¹ all¹ the houseª of Israelª [are] impudentªª and hardhearted.ªª ... As an adamantª harderª than flintª¹ have I madeª° thy forehead:ª fearª° them not,¹ neither¹ be dismayedª° at their looks,ª¹ though¹ they¹ [be] a rebelliousª house.ª" {Ezk 3:7-9} + "But when¹ his heartª was lifted up,ª° and his mindª hardenedª° in pride,ª° he was deposedª° fromª his kinglyª throne,ª and they tookª° his gloryª from¹ him:²" {Dan 5:20} + "But they refusedª° to hearken,ª° and pulled¹ awayª²°° the shoulder,ª and stoppedª° their ears,ª that they should not hear.ª°¹ ... Yea, they madeª° their heartsª [as] an adamant stone,ª lest they should hearª°¹ the¹ law,ª and the wordsª which¹ the LORDª of hostsª hath sentª° in his spiritª byª the formerª prophets:ª therefore came¹ a greatª wrathª from¹¹ the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Zch 7:11-12} + "Forª thisª people'sª heart²¹ is waxed gross,ª° andª [their] earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª they have closed;ª° lest at any timeª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,²¹ andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª should understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Mtt 13:15} + "Butª whenª diversª were hardened,ª° andª believed not,ª° but spake evilª° of that wayª beforeª the¹ multitude,ª he departedª° fromª them,ª and separatedª° the¹ disciples,ª disputingª° dailyªª inª the¹ schoolª of oneª Tyrannus.ª" {Act 19:9} + "Butª afterª thyª hardnessª andª impenitentª heartª treasurest upª° unto thyselfª wrathª againstª the dayª of wrathª andª revelationª of the righteous judgmentª of God;ª ...
