²⁵ Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Yahweh had shown me.

⁴ He said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

⁷ You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

²⁷ But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
