Bible, King James Version
Ezekiel
Ezek.2
[1] And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet,
and I will speak unto thee.
[2] And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me,
and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
[3] And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the
children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled
against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me,
even unto this very day.
[4] For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do
send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord GOD.
[5] And 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.
[6] And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither
be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee,
and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their
words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a
rebellious house.
[7] And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they
will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most
rebellious.
[8] But 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 when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me;
and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
[10] And he spread it before me; and it was written within
and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and
mourning, and woe.
