Ezekiel 3:7

A church father on this verse
“(Verse 7.) But the house of Israel does not want to listen to you, because they do not want to listen to me. For the entire house of Israel is stubborn and hard-hearted. Do not be dismayed, he says, if they do not want to listen to you. For this reason, they will not listen to you: because they will despise listening…”

In context

5For thou art not sent to a people of hard speech, but to the house of Israel;

6neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words thou wouldest not understand: although if I had sent thee to such, they would have hearkened to thee.

— Ezekiel 3:7 —

8And, behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen thy power against their power.

9And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
