Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto 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 spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto 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 unto 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] unto this very day.

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.’

For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

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 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, 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 thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.

And thou shalt 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 tell you. Don’t 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 unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;

10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
