Ezekiel 2

1 And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.3 And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD.'5 As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse--for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6 "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.7 You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." 9 Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.
