Ezekiel 3:5-7

New King James Version

⁵ For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, ⁶ not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, ^(A)had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. ⁷ But the house of Israel will not listen to you, ^(B)because they will not listen to Me; ^(C)for all the house of Israel are ^[a]impudent and hard-hearted.
