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 7the people who understandH8085 you; 7yet the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will not beH14 willingH14 to listenH8085 to you, sinceH3588 they areH14 8not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me. The entireH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 certainlyH3588 is 9stubbornH2389H4696 and obstinateH7186H3820. 8BeholdH2009, I have madeH5414 your faceH6440 justH5980 as hardH2389 as their facesH6440, and your foreheadH4696 justH5980 as hardH2389 as their foreheadsH4696. 9Like emeryH8068 harderH2389 thanH4480 flintH6864 I have madeH5414 your foreheadH4696. Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of them or be dismayedH2865 beforeH4480H6440 them, sinceH3588 they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.” 10Moreover, He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 into your heartH3824 allH3605 My 10wordsH1697 whichH834 I will speakH1696 to you and listenH8085 11closelyH241. 1112GoH1980 to the exilesH1473, to the sonsH1121 of your peopleH5971, and speakH1696 to them and tellH559 them, whetherH518 they listenH8085 orH518 13not, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 14GodH3068 saysH559.’”
