³ For the time that is past ^(A)suffices ^(B)for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

⁹ “Thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Enough, O princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and execute justice and righteousness. Cease ^(B)your evictions of my people, declares the Lord God.

⁹ Like ^(A)emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. ^(B)Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”

²⁶ And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that ^(A)you shall be mute and unable to reprove them, ^(B)for they are a rebellious house. ^27 (C)But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ^(D)‘Thus says the Lord God.’ ^(E)He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.

⁸ “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. ^(H)Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and ^(I)eat what I give you.”
