American Standard Version
"For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel; "
— Ezekiel 3:5, American Standard Version
“For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;”
“For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;”
“For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel–”
“For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:”
“For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;”
“For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;”
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
