Ezekiel 2:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have (A)rebelled against Me; (B)they and their fathers have revolted against Me to this very day. 4 So I am sending you to those who are [a](C)impudent and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord [b]God says:’ 5 As for them, (D)whether they listen or [c]not—for they are a rebellious house—they will (E)know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And as for you, son of man, you are (F)not to fear them nor fear their words, though (G)thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; you are not to fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, since they are a rebellious house. 7 But you shall (H)speak My words to them (I)whether they listen or [d]not, for they are rebellious.
8 “Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth wide and (J)eat what I am giving you.”

Ezekiel 2:3-8
American Standard Version
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day. 4 And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: [a]I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah. 5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. 6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
