| 2:1 | He said to me, “Son of man,* stand on your feet and I will speak with you.” |
| 2:2 | As he spoke to me,* a wind* came into me and stood me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me. |
| 2:3 | He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the house* of Israel, to rebellious nations* who have rebelled against me; both they and their fathers have revolted* against me to this very day. |
| 2:4 | The people* to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted,* and you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says.’* |
| 2:5 | And as for them,* whether they listen* or not – for they are a rebellious* house* – they will know that a prophet has been among them. |
| 2:6 | But you, son of man, do not fear them, and do not fear their words – even though briers* and thorns* surround you and you live among scorpions – do not fear their words and do not be terrified of the looks they give you,* for they are a rebellious house! |
| 2:7 | You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious. |
| 2:8 | As for you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you: Do not rebel like that rebellious house! Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.” |
| 2:9 | Then I looked and realized a hand was stretched out to me, and in it was a written scroll. |
| 2:10 | He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front* and back;* written on it were laments, mourning, and woe. |
