8 “See, I shall make your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
9 “Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I shall make your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be discouraged at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”
10 And He said to me, “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.
11 “And go! Come to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them and say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse.”
12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and behind me I heard the sound of a great rumbling voice, “Blessed be the esteem of יהוה from His place,”
13 and the sound of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great rushing.
14 And the Spirit lifted me and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, while the hand of יהוה was strong upon me.
