⁶ Now as for you, son of man, ^(A)do not fear them and do not fear their words, though ^(B)thistles and briers are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

²⁴ And there will be no more for the house of Israel a ^(A)prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am Lord Yahweh.”
