4Then He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, 1goH1980H935 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and speakH1696 with My wordsH1697 to them. 5For 2you are not being sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of 34unintelligibleH6012 speechH8193 or difficultH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, 6norH3808 to manyH7227 peoplesH5971 of 5unintelligibleH6012 speechH8193 or difficultH3515 languageH3956, whoseH834 wordsH1697 you cannotH3808 understandH8085. 6But I have sentH7971 you to them 7who should listenH8085 to you; 7yet the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will not be willingH14 to listenH8085 to you, sinceH3588 they are 8not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me. SurelyH3588 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is 9stubbornH2389H4696 and obstinateH7186H3820. 8BeholdH2009, I have madeH5414 your faceH6440 as hardH2389 as their facesH6440 and your foreheadH4696 as hardH2389 as their foreheadsH4696. 9Like 10emeryH8068 harderH2389 thanH4480 flintH6864 I have madeH5414 your foreheadH4696. Do not be afraidH3372 of them or be dismayedH2865 beforeH4480H6440 them, thoughH3588 they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.” 10Moreover, He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 into your heartH3824 allH3605 My 11wordsH1697 whichH834 I will speakH1696 to you and listenH8085 12closelyH241. 1113GoH1980 to the exilesH1473, to the sonsH1121 of your peopleH5971, and speakH1696 to them and tellH559 them, whetherH518 they listenH8085 orH518 14not, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 15GodH3068.’”
