4 Then He said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.
5 For you are not being sent to a people of foreign speech and hard language, but to the house of Israel,
6 nor to many peoples of foreign speech and hard language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me. For all the house of Israel is impudent and obstinate.
8 But I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
9 As emery harder than flint, I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
10 Moreover He said to me: Son of man, all My words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart and hear with your ears.
