Ezek 2
1
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak with you.
2
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet; and I
heard him whom spoke to me.
3
And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to nations that
are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed
against me even to this very day.
4
And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do sent you to them; and you shall
say to them, Thus says the Lord YHWH.
5
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious
house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6
And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though
briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of
their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8
But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; be not you rebellious like that rebellious
house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.
9
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a roll of a book
was therein;
10
And he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were
written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
