Ezekiel 2

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

It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I 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.

And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is 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 saith unto Me, 'Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same 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 the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:

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 hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they [are] — have known 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.

'And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, 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 rebellious.

And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they [are] rebellious.

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.

'And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious 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;

And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,

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 spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
