Ezekiel 2

And He said unto me, “Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.”

And the Spirit entered into me when He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard Him that spake unto me.

And He said unto 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 unto this very day.

“For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, ‘Thus saith the Lord GOD.’

“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.

“And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [Or, rebels] be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

“And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

“But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.”

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

And He spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe (Ezekiel 2: 1-10).
