6} And you, son of man, ^(C)neither fear them nor fear their words, though ^(D)thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house. ^{Tools
7} But you shall ^(E)speak My words to them ^(F)whether they listen or ^(b)not, for they are rebellious.
