‏ Jeremiah 7:26

26. hardened ... neck--(De 31:27; Is 48:4; Ac 7:51).

worse than their fathers--(Jr 16:12). In Jr 7:22 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.
