¹ And he said vnto me, Son of man, stand vpon thy feete, and I will speake vnto thee. ² And the spirit entred into me, when hee spake vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, that I heard him that spake vnto me: ³ And hee said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against mee: they and their fathers haue transgressed against mee, euen vnto this very day. ⁴ For they are impudent children and stiffe hearted: I doe send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord God. ⁵ And they, whether they wil heare or whether they will forbeare, (for they are a rebellious house) yet shall know that there hath bene a Prophet among them.

⁶ And thou sonne of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their wordes, though bryars and thornes be with thee, and thou doest dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their lookes, though they be a rebellious house. ⁷ And thou shalt speake my words vnto them, whether they will heare or whether they will forbeare, for they are most rebellious. ⁸ But thou, sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth and eate that I giue thee. ⁹ And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent vnto mee, and loe, a roule of a booke 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.
