Jeremiah 7:26 meaning and explanation
Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
Jeremiah 7:26, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jeremiah is speaking in the temple gate to the people of Judah, and in verse 26 he sums up a long history: from the exodus onward God sent prophets again and again, yet each generation refused to listen. To "incline the ear" is to bend down and pay attention; to "stiffen the neck" pictures an animal that will not turn under the yoke, a stubborn refusal to be guided.
