4 For I knew how stubborn you were;

your neck muscles were iron,

your forehead was bronze.

4 Because I know that you are obstinate,

and your neck is an iron sinew

and your forehead brass,

4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate,

And thy neck is an iron sinew,

And thy brow brass;

4 For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are.

Your necks are as unbending as iron.

Your heads are as hard as bronze.

4 Because I knew that you were obstinate,

And your neck was an iron sinew,

And your brow bronze,

4 I knew you were stubborn;

your neck was like an iron muscle,

and your head was like bronze.

4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,

4 I know that you are stubborn. 

Like iron, you are hardheaded. 

Like bronze, nothing gets through your thick skull. 

4 Because I know that you are stubborn,

and your neck is iron

and your forehead bronze,

4 Because I know that you are obstinate,

and your neck is an iron sinew

and your forehead brass,

4 I knew how stubborn you were.

Your neck was as unbending as iron.

Your forehead was as hard as bronze.

4 “Because I know that you are obstinate,

And your neck is an iron sinew

And your forehead bronze,
