Ezekiel 3:5 in Context — Ezekiel 3

3 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, haz á tu vientre que coma, é hinche tus entrañas de este rollo que yo te doy. Y comílo, y fué en mi boca dulce como miel.

4 Díjome luego: Hijo del hombre, ve y entra á la casa de Israel, y habla á ellos con mis palabras.

5 Porque no eres enviado á pueblo de habla profunda ni de lengua difícil, sino á la casa de Israel.

6 No á muchos pueblos de profunda habla ni de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendas; y si á ellos te enviara, ellos te oyeran.

7 Mas la casa de Israel no te querrán oir, porque no me quieren oir á mí: porque toda la casa de Israel son tiesos de frente, y duros de corazón.
