And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
So they wouldn't be like their ancestors, who were stubborn and rebellious people; a generation that didn't commit their hearts to God, and whose spirits weren't faithful to Him.
This verse warns against following the example of previous generations who were stubborn toward God and unfaithful in their commitment to Him.
