Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that Yahweh had shewed me.
The word of Yahweh also came unto me, saying,
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign Yahweh; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
