Ezekiel 2
- 1And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
- 2And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, that I heard him who spoke to me.
- 3And 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 rebelled against me, even to this very day.
- 4For they are impudent children and stubborn. I do send you to them. And you shall say to them, The Lord God says this.
- 5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse, for they are a rebellious house, yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
- 6And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do live among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, or be terrified at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
- 7And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they refuse. For they are most rebellious.
- 8But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.
- 9And when I looked, a hand was sent to me. And a roll of a book was in it.
- 10And he spread it before me. And it was written inside and outside: and there was written in it lamentations, and mourning, and disaster.
