But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

But they took no note and did not give ear, but were guided by the thoughts and the pride of their evil hearts, going back and not forward.

πλην δεν ηκουσαν ουδε εκλιναν το ωτιον αυτων, αλλα περιεπατησαν εν ταις βουλαις, εν ταις ορεξεσι της πονηρας αυτων καρδιας, και υπηγον εις τα οπισω και ουχι εις τα εμπρος.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
