Ezekiel 2

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

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

2 The Spirit 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 unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto 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 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 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH.'

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 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 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 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 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 tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which 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 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.

And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book 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 out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
