Ezekiel 3:4-8 And he said to me, "Son of man,* come! Go to the house of Israel, and you must speak to them with my words.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And he said to me, "Son of man,* come! Go to the house of Israel, and you must speak to them with my words. ⁵ For you are sent to the house of Israel, not to a people _⌊of obscure speech_⌋* and _⌊of a difficult language_⌋,* ⁶ and not to many nations _⌊of obscure speech_⌋* and _⌊a difficult language_⌋* _⌊whose words_⌋* you do not understand, for if I had sent you to them they would have listened to you. ⁷ And the house of Israel, they are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me, for all of the house of Israel is hard of forehead, and they are hard of heart. ⁸ But look, I have made* your face hard _⌊against_⌋* their faces and your forehead hard _⌊against_⌋* their forehead.
