And you, son of man, don't be scared of them or let their words get to you, even though it feels like you're surrounded by thorns and living among scorpions. Don't let their harsh words shake you or their dirty looks intimidate you, even though they're straight-up rebellious people.

And he said to me, 'Listen, son of man — I'm sending you to the people of Israel. They're a rebellious nation that has straight up turned against me. They and their ancestors have been breaking my rules right up until today.'

But when I speak to you, I'll give you the words to say, and you'll tell them, 'This is what the Lord God says: whoever wants to listen can listen, and whoever wants to ignore this can ignore it — because these people are straight-up rebellious.'
