2 Chronicles 30:8

30:8 Now, don’t be stubborn ³  like your fathers! Submit ⁴  to the Lord and come to his sanctuary which he has permanently consecrated. Serve the Lord your God so that he might relent from his raging anger. ⁵ 

[6:32]  ¹ tn Heb “your great name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your great reputation”).

[30:8]  ³ tn Heb “don’t stiffen your neck” (a Hebrew idiom for being stubborn).
