"The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted, and you must say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’"
— Ezekiel 2:4, NET Bible
“For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.”
“And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah. ”
“The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I am sending you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh.”
“And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:”
“And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.”
“For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.”
Ezekiel’s Commission He said to me,“Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak with you.”
As he spoke to me, a wind came into me and stood me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.
He said to me,“Son of man, I am sending you to the house of Israel, to rebellious nations who have rebelled against me; both they and their fathers have revolted against me to this very day.
The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted, and you must say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’
And as for them, whether they listen or not– for they are a rebellious house– they will know that a prophet has been among them.
But you, son of man, do not fear them, and do not fear their words– even though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions– do not fear their words and do not be terrified of the looks they give you, for they are a rebellious house!
You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
