Do not let the things they say frighten you. Do not be terrified in their presence even though they are rebellious people. 7 But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say. Do not be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.
