< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said to me O son of humankind stand on feet your so I may speak you.
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 And it came in me a spirit just when he spoke to me and it made stand up me on feet my and I heard [one who] spoke to me.
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet. And I heard him who spoke to me.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind [am] sending I you to [the] people of Israel to nations rebellious which they have rebelled against me they and ancestors their they have transgressed against me until [the] substance of the day this.
And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 And the children [are] stern of face and hard of heart I [am] sending you to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh.
And the sons are impudent and stiff hearted. I send thee to them, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah.
5 And they whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of 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 And you O son of humankind may not you be afraid from them and from words their may not you be afraid for nettles and thorns with you and to scorpions you [are] dwelling from words their may not you be afraid and from faces their may not you be dismayed for [are] a house of rebellion they.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dwell among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 And you will speak words my to them whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] rebellious they.
And thou shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.
8 And you O son of humankind hear [that] which I [am] speaking to you may not you be rebellious like [the] house of rebellion open mouth your and eat [that] which I [am] giving to 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 And I saw and there! a hand [was] stretched out to me and there! [was] in it a scroll of a document.
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me, and, lo, a roll of a book was in it,
10 And he spread out it before me and it [was] written face and back and [was] written to it lamentations and moaning and wailing.
And he spread it before me, and it was written inside and outside. And there were written in it lamentations and mourning and woe.
