Ezekiel 3:4-11
4Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now, come to the house of Israel, and you shall speak with My words to them. 5“For ayou are not being sent to a people of 1,bunintelligible lips or a difficult tongue, but to the house of Israel, 6nor to many peoples of 1unintelligible lips or a difficult tongue, whose words you cannot 2understand. 3But I have sent you to them 4who should listen to you; 7yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are anot willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is 1stubborn with a strong forehead and stiff heart. 8“Behold, I have made your face as strong as their faces and your forehead as strong as their foreheads. 9“Like 1diamond stronger than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.” 10Moreover, He said to me, “Son of man, take into your heart all My awords which I will speak to you and listen with your ears. 11“And go now, come to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and you shall speak to them and say to them, whether they listen or whether they refuse, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh.’”
