Context of Ezekiel 3:10
8Yet, I will make you as stubborn and as hardheaded as they are. 9I will make you as hard as a diamond, harder than stone. Don’t be afraid of them. Don’t be terrified in their presence, even though they are rebellious people.” He also said to me, “Son of man, take to heart everything I have spoken to you, and listen closely. 11Go to the exiles, to your people. Whether they listen or not, tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says.’ ” 12Then the Spirit lifted me, and behind me I heard a loud thundering voice say, “Blessed is the Lord’s glory, which left this place.”
