You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

And as for them, whether they listen or not – for they are a rebellious house – they will know that a prophet has been among them.

not to many peoples of unintelligible speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand – surely if I had sent you to them, they would listen to you!

Go to the exiles, to your fellow countrymen, and speak to them – say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says,’ whether they pay attention or not.”
