Hosea 11:5 (100.00%)

“They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.

He shall not return H7725 (8799) into the land H776 of Egypt H4714, but the Assyrian H804 shall be his king H4428, because they refused H3985 (8765) to return H7725 (8800).

He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur-he is his king, For they have refused to return.

Zechariah 7:11 (100.00%)

But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

But they refused H3985 (8762) to hearken H7181 (8687), and pulled away H5414 (8799) H5637 (8802) the shoulder H3802, and stopped H3513 (8689) their ears H241, that they should not hear H8085 (8800).

And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.
