Ezekiel 3:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 For you are sent to the house of Israel, not to a people of obscure speech[a] and of a difficult language,[b] 6 and not to many nations of obscure speech[c] and a difficult language[d] whose words[e] you do not understand, for if I had sent you to them they would have listened to you. 7 And the house of Israel, they are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me, for all of the house of Israel is hard of forehead, and they are hard of heart.

New International Version
5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language,(A) but to the people of Israel— 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and strange language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.(B) 7 But the people of Israel are not willing to listen(C) to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for all the Israelites are hardened and obstinate.(D)
