³ He said, “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], I am sending you to the ·people [^Lsons; ^Tchildren] of Israel, that nation of rebels who have ·turned [rebelled] against me. They and their ·ancestors [fathers] have ·sinned [revolted; transgressed] against me ·until [to] this very day. ⁴ I am sending you to people who are ·stubborn [impudent] and ·who do not obey [stubborn; obstinate]. You will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ ⁵ They may listen, or they may not, since they are a ·people who have turned against me [^Lrebellious house].
