Ezekiel 2

2:1And he said to me, O son of man, stand upon your feet, and I shall speak to you!

2:2And came upon me a spirit. And it took me up, and lifted me away, and stood me upon my feet. And I heard him speaking to me.

2:3And he said to me, O son of man, I shall send you to the sons of Israel, of the ones rebelling against me; the ones who rebelled against me. They and their fathers disregarded me, until today's day.

2:4And harsh and hard-hearted sons -- I shall send you to them. And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord the lord.

2:5If it is so that they should hearken or be terrified, for it is a rebellious house, yet shall they know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.

2:6And you, O son of man, should not be afraid of them, nor be startled by their face, for they shall be heated, and shall rise up together against you round about. And you dwell in the midst of scorpions. You should not fear their words, and before their face you should not be startled, for it is a rebellious house.

2:7And you shall speak my words to them, for surely they shall hear or be terrified; for it is a rebellious house.

2:8And you, O son of man, hearken to the one speaking to you! Be not rebellious as the rebellious house! Gape wide your mouth, and eat what I give to you!

2:9And I beheld, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a roll of a scroll.

2:10And he unrolled it in my presence, and was in it things being written on the front and the rear; and it had written on it a lamentation, and a strain, and a woe.
