Nehemiah 9:16
"But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

But they and our fathers dealt proudly,.... Behaved in a haughty manner towards God, their kind benefactor: and hardened their necks; refused to take the yoke of his law, as

refractory oxen, that withdraw their necks from the yoke: and hearkened not to thy commandments; to do them, though they promised they would, Exo 24:7 .
