Selected verse

For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel—

6

not 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.

8

Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
