Don’t be afraid of their words or be discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.But speak My words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

No doubt, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.But the house of Israel will not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hardheaded and hardhearted.Look, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.I have made your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them or discouraged by the look on their faces, even though they are a rebellious house.”Next He said to me:“ Son of man, listen carefully to all My words that I speak to you and take them to heart.Go to your people, the exiles, and speak to them. Tell them,‘ This is what the Lord God says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
