²⁷ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

²⁴ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written.

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

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

¹¹ Go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

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.

²⁴ But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.

⁵ A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
