Jeremiah 19:15
Because they have hardened their necks - A metaphor taken from unruly and unbroken oxen, who resist the yoke, break and run away with their gears. So this people had broken and destroyed the yoke of the law.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be defiled alike the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose broofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and cpoured out drink offerings to other gods.” ’ ”
14 Then Jeremiah came from Tophet, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in athe court of the Lord’s house and said to all the people,
15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the doom that I have pronounced against it, because athey have stiffened their necks that they might not hear My words.’ ”
