< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 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.
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 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.
And 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 unto this very day;
4 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.
and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
5 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.
And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 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.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.
7 And you shall speak my words to 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 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.
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 I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;
And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
