Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."

And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.

2 The Ruach entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

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.

3 He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

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.

4 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD.'

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.

5 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 know that there has been a prophet among them.

6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

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.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."

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.

9 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;

10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
