Deuteronomy 21:18-21
Romans 2:5-6

In the Bible, stubbornness is generally described in a negative way. It is sometimes difficult to detect, because it is often related to self-righteousness. If we are in that frame of mind, we may not see a need for us to repent. We may see all kinds of faults in others, but not in ourselves. We may stubbornly reject counsel–and this attitude may lead to our complete downfall. If we refuse to allow God to change us, we are predestined to fail.
