And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Þerfore thou, sone of man, drede not hem, neþer drede thou þe wordis of hem; for vnbileueful men and distrieris ben with þee, and thou dwellist with scorpiouns. Drede thou not þe wordis of hem, and drede thou not þe faces of hem, for it is an hous terrynge to wrathþe.
