For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand . Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
7
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted .
8
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
