Ezekiel 2

¹And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

²And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me.

³And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day.

⁴And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁵And 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.

⁶And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

⁷And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

⁸But 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.

⁹And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

¹⁰And he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
