Ezekiel 2:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Son of man, do not be afraid of them or of what they say. Do not be afraid, even if thorns and bushes are all around you. Do not be afraid, even if you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say. Do not be terrified by them. They always refuse to obey me. ⁷ You must give them my message. They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me. ⁸ Son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be like those who refuse to obey me. Open your mouth. Eat what I give you.”
