< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to 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 the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to 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 to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me: [even] to 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.
For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to 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.
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.
And 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.
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 to 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.'
But thou, son of man, hear what I say to 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;
And when I looked, behold, a hand [was] sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book [was] in it;
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 before me: and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
