Ezekiel 2

¹saying, "Mortal man, stand up. I want to talk to you."

²While the voice was speaking, God's spirit entered me and raised me to my feet, and I heard the voice continue,

³"Mortal man, I am sending you to the people of Israel. They have rebelled and turned against me and are still rebels, just as their ancestors were.

⁴They are stubborn and do not respect me, so I am sending you to tell them what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying to them.

⁵Whether those rebels listen to you or not, they will know that a prophet has been among them.

⁶"But you, mortal man, must not be afraid of them or of anything they say. They will defy and despise you; it will be like living among scorpions. Still, don't be afraid of those rebels or of anything they say.

⁷You will tell them whatever I tell you to say, whether they listen or not. Remember what rebels they are.

⁸"Mortal man, listen to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like them. Open your mouth and eat what I am going to give you."

⁹I saw a hand reaching out toward me, and it was holding a scroll.

¹⁰The hand unrolled the scroll, and I saw that there was writing on both sides---cries of grief were written there, and wails and groans.
