The Book of Ezekiel
2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with
thee. 2:2And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon
my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me. 2:3And he said unto me, Son of man, I
send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have
rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto
this very day. 2:4And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do sent thee unto
them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah. 2:5And 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. 2:6And thou,
son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers
and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of
their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
2:7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether
they will forbear; for they are most rebellious. 2:8But thou, son of man, hear what I
say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth,
and eat that which I give thee. 2:9And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth
unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 2:10And he spread it before me: and it
was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and
mourning, and woe.
