Lexicon :: Strong's H5637 - sārar

“If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or of his mother, and when they reprimand and discipline him, he will not listen to them,

And You admonished them and warned them to turn them back to Your law.

Yet they acted presumptuously and arrogantly and did not heed Your commandments, but sinned against Your ordinances,

Which by keeping, a man will live.

But they turned a stubborn shoulder, stiffened their neck, and would not listen.

Who rules by His might forever,

His eyes keep watch on the nations;

Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

God makes a home for the lonely;

He leads the prisoners into prosperity,

Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;

You have received gifts among men,

Even from the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.

And not be like their fathers—

A stubborn and rebellious generation,

A generation that did not prepare its heart to know and follow God,

And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

She was boisterous and rebellious;

[fn]She would not stay at home.

Your rulers are rebels

And companions of thieves;

Everyone loves bribes

And chases after gifts.

They do not defend the fatherless,

Nor does the widow’s cause come before them [instead they delay or turn a deaf ear].

“Woe (judgment is coming) to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD,

“Who carry out a plan, but not Mine,

And make an alliance [by pouring out a libation], but not of My Spirit,

In order to add sin to sin;

“I have spread out My hands all the day long to a rebellious and stubborn people,

Who walk in the way that is not good, [following] after their own thoughts and intentions,

‘But this people has a stubborn heart and a rebellious will [that draws them away from Me];

They have turned away and have gone [into idolatry].

They are all the worst [kind] of [stiff-necked, godless] rebels,

Going around spreading slander.

They are [not gold and silver ore, but] bronze and iron;

They are all corrupt.

For Israel is stubborn,

Like a stubborn heifer.

Can the LORD now pasture them

Like a lamb in a large field?

All their wickedness [says the LORD] is focused in Gilgal;

Indeed, I came to hate them there!

Because of the wickedness of their [idolatrous] practices

I will drive them out of My house (the land of Israel)!

I will love them no longer;

All their princes are rebels.
