¹⁷ Now, ^(A)gird up your loins and arise and speak to them all which I command you. ^(B)Do not be dismayed before them, lest I dismay you before them.

⁶ Now as for you, son of man, ^(A)do not fear them and do not fear their words, though ^(B)thistles and briers are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
