The Spirit of God continues speaking to Ezekiel.
Behold
The word “behold” here alerts Ezekiel to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.
I have made your face as stubborn as their faces
The words "face" and "faces" are used to stand for the people the sentence is about. Alternate translation: "I have made you as stubborn as they are." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
your brow as hard as their brows
The "brow" is the forehead or eyebrow. It used in the same way as "face."
I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint
"I have made your brow like the hardest stone, harder than flint."
