Ezekiel 3:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ For you are not being sent to a people that speaks a difficult and barbaric language, but to the house of Israel. ⁶ I am not sending you to great nations, whose speech you would not be able to comprehend, although they would listen to what you had to say.

⁷ However, the house of Israel will not listen to you because it would not listen to me. The whole house of Israel is defiant and obstinate in heart.
