17 “And as for you, you should gird up your hips,+ and you must rise up and speak to them everything that I myself command you. Do not be struck with any terror because of them,+ in order that I may not strike you with terror before them.

6 “And you, O son of man, do not be afraid of them;+ and of their words do not be afraid, because there are obstinate ones+ and things pricking+ you and it is among scorpions+ that you are dwelling. Of their words do not you be afraid,+ and at their faces do not you be struck with terror,+ for they are a rebellious house.+
