Ezekiel 2:5-8 "whether they hear or be affrighted; for they are a provoking house and let them know that thou art a prophet among them.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ "whether they hear or be affrighted; [for they are a provoking house] and let them know that thou art a prophet among them. ⁶ And thou son of man, be not afraid of them nor daunted at their presence. Because they will sting thee and rise up against thee on all sides and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions, be not afraid of their words nor terrified at their looks; because they are a provoking house, ⁷ therefore thou shalt deliver my words to them whether they hear or be affrighted. ⁸ Because they are a provoking house, thou therefore, son of man, hear him who is speaking to thee and be not thou rebellious like this rebellious house. Open thy mouth and eat what I give thee.
