3 He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to(a) the rebellious pagans(b) who have rebelled against Me. The Israelites and their ancestors have transgressed against Me to this day.(A) 4 The children are obstinate(c) and hardhearted.(B) I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ 5 Whether they listen or refuse to listen(C)—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(D)
