< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake with me.
3 And he said unto 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] unto this very day.
And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation, that hath rebelled against me; they and their fathers have rebelled against me to this very day.
4 For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
Brazen-faced and stiff-hearted are the sons to whom I send thee. And thou shalt say to 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 hath been a prophet among them.
And whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are a rebellious house, yet shall they know that a prophet is in the midst of them.
6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost 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 of their words be not afraid, though they be briers and thorns toward thee, and though thou dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for 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.
Speak thou my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.
8 But 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.
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, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and lo, a book-roll was 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 before me, and it was written within and without. And therein was written lamentation and mourning and woe.
