“You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Ezekiel 2 contains 10 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
