Ezekiel 2:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

⁷ And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

⁸ But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
