And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 2 of Ezekiel. God calls Ezekiel son of man and sends him to a rebellious nation. The prophetic mission does not depend on the people’s receptiveness: the messenger must speak whether they listen or refuse to listen. The command not to fear shows that the prophet’s faithfulness is measured by obedience, not immediate results.

Sie gehorchen oder lassen's. Es ist wohl ein ungehorsames Haus; dennoch sollen sie wissen, daß ein Prophet unter ihnen ist.
Acaso ellos escuchen; y si no escucharen, (porque son una rebelde familia,) siempre conocerán que hubo profeta entre ellos.
Escuchen o dejen de escuchar, porque son una casa rebelde, sabrán que un profeta ha estado entre ellos.
Qu'ils écoutent, ou qu'ils n'écoutent pas, -car c'est une famille de rebelles, -ils sauront qu'un prophète est au milieu d'eux.
E che che sia, o che ti ascoltino, o che se ne rimangano perciocchè sono una casa ribelle, sì sapranno che vi sarà stato un profeta in mezzo di loro
E eles, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir (porque eles são casa rebelde), hão de saber, contudo, que esteve no meio deles um profeta.
他們是悖逆之家,他們或聽,或不聽,必知道在他們中間有了先知。
