As for them, whether they hear or whether they forbear; for they are a rebellious house; yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.

Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?

Give heed, O heavens, and hear, O earth! For Jehovah has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against Me.

And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things signify to us, that you behave so?

And it shall be, when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service?

When your son asks you in the future, saying, What are the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which Jehovah our God has commanded you?

that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, What are these stones to you?

And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: When your sons ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What are these stones?

Jesus said to them, Have you understood all these things? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.

So Jesus said, Are you also still without understanding?

Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated into the sewer?

How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

And He said to them, Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all parables?

But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they might not perceive it; and they feared to ask Him about this saying.

So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you understand what you are reading?

and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with large wings and long pinions, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon and took the highest branch from the cedar.

On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity,

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

And Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officials went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

He also carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the commanders and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.

All the men of valor, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

At the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels from the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah, Jehoiakim's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

As I live, says Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on My right hand, yet I would tear you out of there!

And I will cast you out, along with your mother who bore you, into another land where you were not born; and there you shall die.

Is this man Coniah a despised and broken vessel? Is he an object in which there is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they do not know?

And some of your sons which shall come forth from you, which you shall beget, shall be taken away; and they shall be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.

And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison,

And he changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread before him all the days of his life.
