[1] He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

I- The people who reject God's Word. Jeremiah 19:15 KJV [15] Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words. (II Kings 17:14; I Samuel 15:23- 26)
II- The person who refused God's workers- Exodus 8:19 KJV [19] Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. (Exodus 7:13- 22; Nehemiah 9:16; I Samuel 8:7)
III- The pastors, preachers, or people who retract from God's perfect will- Hosea 11:7 KJV [7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. (II Kings 17:15; Romans 12:1- 2)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
