King James VersionEzekiel2

Ezekiel

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.
