Ezekiel 2:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ For they are a hard-hearted, stiff-necked people. But I am sending you to give them my messages—the messages of the Lord God. ⁵ And whether they listen or not (for remember, they are rebels), they will at least know they have had a prophet among them.

⁶ “Son of dust, don’t be afraid of them; don’t be frightened even though their threats are sharp and barbed and sting like scorpions. Don’t be dismayed by their dark scowls. For remember, they are rebels!
