Ezekiel 2

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

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up 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.

And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed 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;

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until 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.

And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.

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.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, [for they are a rebellious family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been 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.

And thou, son of man, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.

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

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

But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.

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

And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-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.

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