6 And you, son of man,* you must not be afraid of them, and you must not be afraid of their words, because* briers and thorns are with you, and you are sitting among scorpions. You must not be afraid of their words, and you must not be dismayed because of their looks,* for they are a rebellious house. 7 And you must speak my words to them whether they listen or whether they fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
