TSK · Acts 7:51

And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;

Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, [to add] unto all your abominations.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:
