And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear, and will forbear.
וְלֵ֨ךְ בֹּ֤א אֶל־הַגּוֹלָה֙ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֤ אֲלֵיהֶם֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֑ה אִֽם־יִשְׁמְע֖וּ וְאִם־יֶחְדָּֽלוּ׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
Our Lord arrives among the Jewish people, sent by the Father to proclaim freedom to those held captive, so that the scripture might be realized: “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast taken captivity captive, thou hast given gifts to men” (Psalm 67:19).
When addressing them, refrain from expressing your own thoughts; instead, convey My messages and deliver what I instruct you. Perhaps they will feel remorse for your efforts and be unsettled by My warnings. However, the presence of uncertainty, as I have mentioned (Ezek. 2), does not indicate a lack of knowledge, but rather stimulates the pursuit of liberation.
