And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

Verse 6 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.

Und du Menschenkind, sollst dich vor ihnen nicht fürchten noch vor ihren Worten fürchten. Es sind wohl widerspenstige und stachlige Dornen bei dir, und du wohnst unter Skorpionen; aber du sollst dich nicht fürchten vor ihren Worten noch vor ihrem Angesicht dich entsetzen, ob sie wohl ein ungehorsames Haus sind,
Y tú, hijo del hombre, no temas de ellos, ni tengas miedo de sus palabras, aunque te hallas entre zarzas y espinas, y tú moras con escorpiones: no tengas miedo de sus palabras, ni temas delante de ellos, porque son casa rebelde.
Y tú, hijo de hombre, no les temas y no tengas miedo de sus palabras, aunque haya zarzas y espinos contigo y vivas entre escorpiones. No tengas miedo de sus palabras ni te aterres ante ellos, porque son una casa rebelde.
Et toi, fils de l'homme, ne les crains pas et ne crains pas leurs discours, quoique tu aies auprès de toi des ronces et des épines, et que tu habites avec des scorpions; ne crains pas leurs discours et ne t'effraie pas de leurs visages, quoiqu'ils soient une famille de rebelles.
E tu, figliuol d’uomo, non temer di loro, nè delle lor parole; perciocchè tu hai appresso di te degli uomini ritrosi, e delle spine; e tu abiti per mezzo di scorpioni; non temer delle lor parole, e non isgomentarti della lor presenza; perciocchè sono una casa ribelle.
E tu, ó filho do homem, não os temas, nem temas as suas palavras; ainda que estejam contigo sarças e espinhos, e tu habites entre escorpiões, não temas as suas palavras, nem te assustes com os seus semblantes, porque são casa rebelde.
你,人子啊,雖有荊棘和蒺藜在你那裏,你又住在蠍子中間,總不要怕他們,也不要怕他們的話;他們雖是悖逆之家,但你不要怕他們的話,也不要因他們的臉色驚惶。
