Contextual Overview
1He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find [in this book]; eat this scroll, then go, speak to the house of Israel." 2So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. 3He said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll that I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. 4Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak My words to them. 5"For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel, 6not to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you and pay attention to My message; 7yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you and obey you, since they are not willing to listen to Me and obey Me, for the entire house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate. 8"Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.9"I have made your forehead like emery (diamond), harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house." 10Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, receive into your heart all My words which I will speak to you and hear with your ears (listen closely).

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Behold, I have made the, face strong against their faces,.... Not that the prophet should have the same sort of impudence and confidence they had; but that God would "give" n him such a face, as it is in the Hebrew text, such spirit and courage, that he should neither be ashamed of the words of the Lord, nor afraid to speak them to this people; so that he should be a match for them; they should not be able to outface him, or look him out of countenance; he should behave with an undaunted spirit, and with great intrepidity, amidst all opposition made to him: the Lord fits his ministers for the people he sends them to, and gives them courage and strength proportionate to the opposition they meet with; as their day is, their strength is; and all that invincible courage, boldness, and strength, with which they are endowed, it is all from the Lord, and a gift of his:
and thy forehead strong against their foreheads; which is the same thing in different words.
n × ×ª×ª× ×ת ×¤× ×× "dedi faciem tuam", V. L. Vatablus, Cocceius, Starckius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I have made ... thy forehead strong - I have given thee a strength superior to theirs; a metaphor taken from horned animals.
