Obstinate

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.

All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,

They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’

For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?

But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
