¹⁷ Now, ^(A)gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. ^(B)Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them.

⁶ And you, son of man, ^(A)neither fear them nor fear their words, though ^(B)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.
