Ezekiel 3:4-8 Vision of Rebellion and Judgment

4 He then said to me: “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.

5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel—

6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

8 But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.
