7
But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me; because all the house of Israel have a hard forehead and a stubborn heart.
8
See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9
Like the hardest stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not fear them or be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
10
He said to me: Mortal, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart and hear with your ears;
11
then go to the exiles, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, "Thus says the Lord God"; whether they hear or refuse to hear.
