< 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 upon thy feet, and I will speak to 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 to me, and set me upon 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 thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath 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 YHWH.'
For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith 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 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, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though 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 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 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 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.
And when I looked, behold, a hand [was] sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book [was] in it;
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 in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
