Jeremiah 7:26

Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Hardened their neck - ( "I know ... thy stiff neck;" , "Thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;" ).

Worse than their fathers - (). In . He had said, "your fathers;" here He says, "their fathers;" the change to the third person marks growing alienation from them. He no longer addresses themselves, as it would be a waste of words in the case of such hardened rebels.
