He became stiff-necked^(D) and hardened his heart and would not turn to the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁴ Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful,^(E) following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the Lord, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
