He has obstructed my paths and torn me to pieces; he has made me desolate.

But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts. They have turned aside and gone their own way.

If a person has a stubborn, rebellious son who pays no attention to his father or mother, and they discipline him to no avail,

They must declare to the elders of his city, “Our son is stubborn and rebellious and pays no attention to what we say – he is a glutton and drunkard.”

Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.

I spread out my hands all day long to my rebellious people, who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable, and who did what they desired.
