Ezekiel 2

Revised Geneva Translation

2 And He said to me: “Son of man, stand up upon your feet, and I will speak to you.”

² And the Spirit entered into me after He had spoken to me, and set me upon my feet, so that I heard Him Who spoke to me.

³ And He said to me: “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have rebelled against Me to this very day.

⁴ “For they are impudent children, and stiff-hearted. I send you to them. And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God.’

⁵ “But surely, they will not hear. Indeed, nor will they cease. For they are a rebellious House: Yet they shall know that there has been a Prophet among them.

⁶ “And you, son of man, do not fear them or be afraid of their words, although rebels and thorns are with you, and you remain with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be afraid of their looks, for they are a rebellious House.

⁷ “Therefore, you shall speak My Words to them. Surely, they will not hear. Indeed, nor will they cease, for they are rebellious.

⁸ “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious, like this rebellious House. Open your mouth and eat that I give you.”

⁹ And when I looked up, behold, a Hand was sent to me. And lo, a scroll of a book was inside.

¹⁰ And He spread it before me, and there was writing inside and outside. And lamentations and mourning and woe were written on it.
