Simple English

But I made my heart hard. God called me many times, but I wouldn’t listen. I knew about these things, but I didn’t want to know. So I kept rebelling against God. I sinned until the fourth day of the seventh month. This was in the tenth year of our judges.

Paraphrase

But I hardened my heart. God called to me over and over, and I wouldn’t listen. I knew the truth, but I chose to ignore it. I kept rebelling against God, living wickedly, right up until the fourth day of the seventh month, in the tenth year of the judges.
