Ezekiel 2

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

And he said unto me, —Son of man, Stand upon thy feet, that I may, speak with thee.

2 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.

Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spake unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, —and I heard one speaking unto me.

3 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.

And he said unto me- Son of man I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, —they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, until this very day;

4 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.

and it is unto such sons—of shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, —therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.

5 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.

And they! whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for a perverse house, they are, shall then know that, a prophet, hath been in their midst.

6 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.

But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!

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

Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!

8 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.

Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, —open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.

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

So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, —and lo! therein a scroll;

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

and he spread it out before me, and, it was written on the front and the back, —and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.
