1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you." 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.
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. 4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ 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. 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. 7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; 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."
9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 And 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 sons of Israel, to rebellious Gentiles that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have rebelled against me, [even] unto this very day.
4 And to sons [that have] hard faces and strong hearts do I send thee; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said.
5 And they will not hear nor forbear (for they [are] a rebellious house), but they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 And thou, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, for they are rebels; though thou find thyself among thorns and thy dwelling be with briers, do not be afraid of their words, nor fear before them, for they are a rebellious house.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, but they will not hear nor forbear, for they are rebels.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9 And I looked, and behold, [a] hand was sent unto me; and in it was [the] roll of a book,
10 and he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without; and [there was] written therein lamentations and mourning and woes.:
