6But you, son of man, do not fear them, and do not fear their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit among scorpions. Do not fear their words, and do not be dismayed by their faces, for they are a rebellious house.

7You shall speak my words to them, whether they listen or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

8But you, son of man, hear what I am speaking to you. Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.
