Ezekiel 3:4-8

NSB(i) 4 He then said to me: »Son of man, go to the people of Israel and speak my words to them. 5 »I am not sending you to people whose language is hard to understand or difficult to speak. I am sending you to Israel. 6 »I am not sending you to nations whose language is hard to understand, difficult to speak, or whose words you cannot understand. If I send you to those nations they will certainly listen to you. 7 »But the people of Israel will refuse to listen to you because they refuse to listen to me. All the people of Israel are very stubborn and hardheaded. 8 »Yet, I will make you as stubborn and as hardheaded as they are.
