rsv Ezekiel:2:3-7
rsv@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And he said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels, who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day.
rsv@Ezekiel:2:4 @ The people also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them; and you shall say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD.'
rsv@Ezekiel:2:5 @ And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
rsv@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit upon scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
rsv@Ezekiel:2:7 @ And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear; for they are a rebellious house.
