Ezekiel 3:9 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I've made you tougher than diamond — harder than the hardest stone. Don't be afraid of them or let their dirty looks get to you, even though they're completely rebellious and stubborn.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God made you unbreakable, so don't let anyone's attitude shake you.
