Ezekiel

Ezekiel 2:6–7

⁶But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house. ⁷But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
