Commentary on Ezekiel 3:5
"For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel." God emphasizes that Ezekiel speaks to fellow Israelites who share language and culture, yet will prove harder-hearted than foreigners (verses 6-7). Covenant privilege brings greater accountability. Familiarity with truth can breed contempt rather than gratitude. Those raised in covenant community often prove more resistant than pagans encountering truth fresh. This pattern continues: nominal Christians often resist gospel more than unbelievers.
