Context Readings

The Call Of Ezekiel To Speak God's Words

6 This isn't a large group of people whose speech is unintelligible to you or whose language is difficult for you to comprehend. Frankly, if I had sent you to that kind of people, they would certainly have listened to you! 7 But the house of Israel won't listen to you, since they weren't willing to listen to me. That's because the entire house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted. 8 So pay attention! I'm going to make you just as obstinate and unyielding as they are.
