1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2 And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.

3 And 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 unto this very day;

4 and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

5 And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear-for they are a rebellious house-yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them.

6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.

7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.

8 And 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 And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.

10 And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

1 他对我说： "人子啊！ 站起来， 我要跟你说话。"

2 他对我说话的时候， 灵就进到我里面， 使我站立起来； 我又听见对我说话的声音。

3 他对我说： "人子啊！ 我差派你到以色列人那里去， 就是到那背叛我的叛逆国民那里去！ 他们和他们的列祖都得罪了我， 直到今日。

4 这人民十分顽固， 心里刚硬， 我差派你到他们那里去。你要对他们说： ‘主耶和华这样说。’

5 他们或听或不听（他们原是叛逆的民族）， 也必知道在他们中间有一位先知。

6 "人子啊！ 至于你， 虽然荆棘和蒺藜在你周围， 你又住在蝎子群中， 你不要怕他们， 也不要怕他们讲的话。他们原是叛逆的民族， 你总不要怕他们讲的话， 在他们面前， 也不要惊惶。

7 他们或听或不听， 你只要把我的话告诉他们， 他们原是叛逆的。

8 "人子啊！ 至于你， 你要听我对你讲的话。不要叛逆我， 像那叛逆的民族一样。张开你的口， 把我赐给你的吃下去！ "

9 我观看， 看见一只手向我伸过来， 手中有一卷书卷。

10 他把书卷在我面前展开， 书卷内外都写上字， 写的是哀歌、悲叹和灾祸。
