Ezekiel 3:5 in context

  1. 3He said to me, “Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you.”
    Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
  2. 4He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
  3. 5For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
  4. 6not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
  5. 7But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
