Ezekiel
Chapter 2
1
And he said unto me, Son of man,
"Stand
upon your feet, and I will speak unto you."
2
And the spirit entered into me
when
He spoke unto me,
and
set me upon my feet,
that
I heard him Who spoke unto me.
3
And He said unto 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 transgressed against me,
even
unto this very day. 4``
For they are impudent children and stiff-hearted.
I
do send you unto them
and
you shall say unto them,
'Thus
said the Lord/'Adonay Jehovah/God. 5
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, son of man, be not afraid of them,
neither
be afraid of their words,
though
briers and thorns be with you,
and
you do dwell among scorpions.
Be
not afraid of their words,
nor
be dismayed at their looks,
though
they be a rebellious house. 7
And
you shall speak My words unto them,
whether
they will hear,
or
whether they will forbear . . .
for
they are most rebellious. 8
But
you, son of man,
hear
what I say unto you.
Be
not you rebellious
like
that rebellious house.
Open
your mouth, and eat that I give you."
9
And when I looked, behold,
an
hand was sent unto me
and,
lo, a roll of a book was therein.
10
And He spread it before me
and
it was written within and without.
And
there was written therein
lamentations,
and mourning, and woe.
