Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.

Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you.But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel have a hard forehead and a stubborn heart.Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.Like emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”Moreover, he said to me,“ Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.And go to the exiles, to your people, and speak to them and say to them,‘ Thus says the Lord God,’ whether they hear or refuse to hear.”
