Ezekiel 2:5-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5As for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6And as for you, son of man, you are not to fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; you are not to fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, since they are a rebellious house. 7But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.King James Version
Chapter 2
5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. 6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.Christian Standard Bible
6"But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words, even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.
7Speak my words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
New Living Translation
6Son of man, do not fear them or their words. Don’t be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels.
7You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious!
8Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you.'
English Standard Version
