Ezekiel 2:5-8

ACV(i) 5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them. 6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dwell among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 And thou shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious. 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
