EXPLANATION

Verse 6. God. Hebrew tsauuar means, “neck.” But the Septuagint have not seen the a, and translate against God. Lit. “the rock,” which is one of his titles; (Bert.) and this seems preferable to “speak not with a stiff neck;” ( Calmet.) or “with the old neck:” (Saint Jerome) though this sense is not contemptible, as the sinner’s wonted pride rises against God.
