1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon youri feet, and I will speak unto youi.

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

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send youi to the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], 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 (shameless; without modesty) children and stiffhearted. I do send youi unto them; and youi shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).

5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will refrain (restrain; refrein from acting), (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

6 And youi, Son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with youi, and youi do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.

7 And youi shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will refrain (restrain; refrein from acting): for they [are] most rebellious.

8 But youi, Son of man, hear what I say unto youi; Be not youi rebellious like that rebellious house: open youri mouth, and eat that I give youi.

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

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