Ezekiel 2:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 But surely they will not hear, neither indeed will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they know that [a]there hath been a Prophet among them.
6 And thou son of man, [b]fear them not, neither be afraid of their words, although rebels and thorns be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: fear not their words, nor be afraid at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
7 Therefore thou shalt speak my words unto them: but surely they will not hear, neither will they indeed cease: for they are rebellious.
