Surely the whole house of Israel is ^[a]stubborn with a strong forehead and stiff heart. ⁸ Behold, I have made your face as strong as their faces and your forehead as strong as their foreheads. ⁹ Like ^[b]diamond stronger than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.”
