| 2:1 | And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. | | 2:2 | And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me. | | 2:3 | And he said to 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] to this very day. | | 2:4 | For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. | | 2:5 | 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. | | 2:6 | And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house. | | 2:7 | And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious. | | 2:8 | But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee. | | 2:9 | And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent to me; and, lo, a scroll [was] in it; | | 2:10 | And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe. |
