< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee.
And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
2 And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me.
And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.
3 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.
And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.
4 For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD.
5 But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them.
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 thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house.
And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious.
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee.
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 I give you.
9 And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein.
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
