- Vulgate (Clementine)
- domus autem Israël nolunt audire te, quia nolunt audire me : omnis quippe domus Israël attrita fronte est, et duro corde.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὁ δὲ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὐ μὴ θελήσουσιν εἰσακοῦσαί σου, διότι οὐ βούλονται εἰσακοῦσαί μου· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ φιλόνεικοί εἰσιν καὶ σκληροκάρδιοι.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Hard. Literally, "rubbed" like a stone, or brass; attrita. (Haydock)
God's ambassadors (Ephesians vi. 20.; Calmet) must do their utmost. (Haydock)
The success must not puff them up, nor the failure too much depressed them, as all regards God, (Matthew x. 40.) who will know how to make things conduce to his own glory. They must only bewail the blindness of sinners. (Calmet)
The care of them, and not the cure, will be required at their hands, ver. 19. (Haydock)
