Eze 3:8
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
Eze 3:9
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.
"For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me?" - Isaiah 50:7-9a
