Ezekiel 2:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ He said to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day. ⁴ Because they are obstinate and stubborn, I am sending you to them. You shall say to them, “Thus says the Lord God.” ⁵ Whether they listen to you or whether in their rebelliousness they refuse to listen, they will know that there is a prophet among them.
