Hard Heads, Stiff Necks and Stone Hearts

Psalm 10 consists of 18 verses,
verses 1-11 are given below:

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all  his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of curing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.-Psalm 10:1-11****The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that each person who transgresses the commands of the Lord God makes their own neck stiff in order not to hear or be taught the words of the Lord God. Thus, their path is as hard as their head and their heart is like the stone whereupon they walk. Over 400 years after the Israelite prophets and psalmists wrote or proclaimed the last messages they received from the Lord God, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the Israelite tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by many people, and returned to heaven.  The prophecies that revealed Jesus would be numbered with the lawless were fulfilled.-Genesis 1:1-4:26, 11:26-35:39, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Psalm 10, Proverbs 13:1-25, Jeremiah 17:1-27, 19:1-15, Ezekiel 11:1-25, 36:1-38, Zechariah 7:1-14, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
