Ezekiel 2:4, 6

I am sending you to people who are stubborn and who do not obey. You will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’

You, human, don’t be afraid of the people or their words. Even though they may be like thorny branches and stickers all around you, and though you may feel like you live with poisonous insects, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of their words or their looks, because they are a people who turn against me.
