< 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 O son of humankind stand on feet your so I may speak you.
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 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.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children 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 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.
4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
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.
5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
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.
6 You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
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.
7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
And you will speak words my to them whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] rebellious they.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
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.
9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
And I saw and there! a hand [was] stretched out to me and there! [was] in it a scroll of a document.
10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
And he spread out it before me and it [was] written face and back and [was] written to it lamentations and moaning and wailing.
