Ezekiel 2:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 But as for you, son of man, do not fear them or their words. Do not fear, even though there are briers or thorns and you sit among scorpions.[a] Do not be afraid of their words or be terrified by their looks for they are a rebellious house.(A) 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they hear or resist, because they are rebellious.(B) 8 But you, son of man, hear me when I speak to you and do not rebel like this rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.(C)
