As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 3 of Ezekiel. The scroll Ezekiel receives contains words of lamentation, mourning, and woe, yet he must eat it. The image means that the message must be internalized before being proclaimed. Although its content announces judgment, it is sweet in the prophet’s mouth, showing that receiving God’s word can be good even when proclaiming it is painful.

Ja, ich habe deine Stirn so hart wie ein Demant, der härter ist denn ein Fels, gemacht. Darum fürchte dich nicht, entsetze dich auch nicht vor ihnen, daß sie so ein ungehorsames Haus sind.
Como diamante, más fuerte que pedernal he hecho tu frente; no los temas, ni tengas miedo delante de ellos, porque es casa rebelde.
He hecho tu frente como una piedra de esmeril, más dura que el pedernal. No les temas ni te acobardes ante ellos, porque son una casa rebelde».
Je rendrai ton front comme un diamant, plus dur que le roc. Ne les crains pas, quoiqu'ils soient une famille de rebelles.
Io rendo la tua fronte simile ad un diamante, più dura che una selce; non temerli, e non avere spavento di loro; perciocchè sono una casa ribelle.
Fiz como diamante a tua fronte, mais forte do que a pederneira; não os temas, pois, nem te assombres com os seus rostos, porque são casa rebelde.
我使你的額頭像金剛石,比火石更堅硬。他們雖是悖逆之家,但你不要怕他們,也不要因他們的臉色而驚惶。」
