Ezekiel 2:3-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 He said to me, “Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation[a] of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day.(A) 4 The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’(B) 5 Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.(C) 6 And you, O mortal, do not be afraid of them, and do not be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words, and do not be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.(D) 7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.(E)
