Qal near the end, and סַר below); of loose woman הֹמִיָּסה הִיאוְסוֺרָ֑רֶת Proverbs 7:11; as substantive = the stubborn, Psalm 66:7; Psalm 68:7; Psalm 68:19; feminine singular וַיִּתְּנוּ כָתֵף סֹרֶ֫רֶת Nehemiah 9:29 and they presented a stubborn shoulder (of Israel) = Zechariah 7:11 (סֹרָ֑רֶת).
סָרַר
(1) to be refractory, stubborn; pr. used of refractory beasts (kindred root סוּר). Only in the part. [except Hosea 4:16 ] סֹרֵר f. סֹרֶרֶת refractory, stubborn; used of an untamed cow, Hosea 4:16 of a son who refuses to submit to his parents, Deuteronomy 21:18, 20 Deuteronomy 21:20; Psalms 78:8; Jeremiah 5:23 of a woman who has cast off restraint and indulges in lusts Proverbs 7:11 of the people of Israel, Isaiah 1:23, 30:1 65:2 Psalms 68:19; Hosea 9:15. From the idea of stubborn animals shaking the yoke off from their shoulders, is taken the phrase נָתַן כָּתֵף סֹרֶרֶת to give a refractory shoulder, i.e. to be stubborn, Nehemiah 9:29; Zechariah 7:11. There is a paronomasia in Jeremiah 6:28, סָרֵי סֹרְרִים “those fallen away to the stubborn.”
(2) to be evil, i.q. Arab. شَرَّ. Hence סַר.
