Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 30 of 2 Chronicles. Hezekiah sends letters throughout Judah and Israel inviting the people to celebrate Passover in Jerusalem. The invitation seeks to overcome the historical division between the tribes and return to the God of Israel. Some mock the messengers, but others humble themselves and come. The chapter presents Passover as an instrument of spiritual reunification.

So seid nun nicht halsstarrig wie eure Väter; sondern gebt eure Hand dem HERRN und kommt zu seinem Heiligtum, das er geheiligt hat ewiglich, und dient dem HERRN, eurem Gott, so wird sich der Grimm seines Zorns von euch wenden.
No endurezcáis pues ahora vuestra cerviz como vuestros padres: dad la mano a Jehová, y venid a su santuario, el cual él ha santificado para siempre; y servid a Jehová vuestro Dios, y la ira de su furor se apartará de vosotros.
Ahora no endurezcan su cuello como sus padres. Sométanse a Jehová y vengan a su santuario, que él ha consagrado para siempre. Sirvan a Jehová, su Dios, para que el ardor de su ira se aparte de ustedes.
Ne raidissez donc pas votre cou, comme vos pères; donnez la main à l'Eternel, venez à son sanctuaire qu'il a sanctifié pour toujours, et servez l'Eternel, votre Dieu, pour que sa colère ardente se détourne de vous.
Ora, non indurate il vostro collo, come hanno fatto i vostri padri; porgete le mani al Signore, e venite al suo Santuario, il quale egli ha consacrato in perpetuo, e servite al Signore Iddio vostro; e l’ardor della sua ira si stornerà da voi.
Não endureçais agora a vossa cerviz, como vossos pais; dai a mão ao SENHOR, e vinde ao seu santuário que ele santificou para sempre, e servi ao SENHOR vosso Deus, para que o ardor da sua ira se desvie de vós.
現在,不要像你們祖先硬著頸項,只要歸順耶和華,進入他的聖所,就是永遠成聖的居所,又要事奉耶和華-你們的上帝,好使他的烈怒轉離你們。
