⁴I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord ^[a]God.’ ⁵As for them, whether they listen or refuse [to listen]—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know and be fully aware of the fact that there has been a prophet among them. ⁶And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words; though briars and thorns are all around you and you sit among scorpions, neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
