Exodus 33:3

Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

KJV

et intres in terram fluentem lacte et melle. Non enim ascendam tecum, quia populus duræ cervicis es : ne forte disperdam te in via.

Vulgate

καὶ εἰσάξω σε εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι· οὐ γὰρ μὴ συναναβῶ μετὰ σοῦ διὰ τὸ λαὸν σκληροτράχηλόν σε εἶναι, ἵνα μὴ ἐξαναλώσω σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.

LXX

unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiffnecked people, lest I consume thee in the way.

Since, therefore, He has renewed us by the remission of our sins, He has made us after another pattern, that we should possess the soul of children, as if He were creating us anew.
