Ezek 2
1
And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'
2
And spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard
Him that spoke unto me.
3
And He said unto me: 'Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious
nations, that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against
Me, even unto this very day;
4
and the children are brazen-faced and stiff-hearted, I do send thee unto them; and
thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear--for they are a rebellious
house--yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though
defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid
of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
7
And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8
And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that
rebellious house; open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.'
9
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book
was therein;
10
and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written
therein lamentations, and moaning, and woe.
