Ezekiel 2:4-7

New American Standard Bible

⁴ So I am sending you to those who are ^[a](A)impudent and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord ^[b]God says:’ ⁵ As for them, ^(B)whether they listen or ^[c]not—for they are a rebellious house—they will ^(C)know that a prophet has been among them. ⁶ And as for you, son of man, you are ^(D)not to fear them nor fear their words, though ^(E)thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; you are not to fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, since they are a rebellious house. ⁷ But you shall ^(F)speak My words to them ^(G)whether they listen or ^[d]not, for they are rebellious.
