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.

- 1 Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!”
- 2 As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.
- 3 Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
- 4 “I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'
- 5 “As for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
- 6 “And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
- 7 “But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
- 8 “Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”
- 9 Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.
- 10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
