Ezekiel — Chapter 2
Ezekiel is called to take the word of the Lord to Israel—He sees a book in which lamentations and mourning are written.
1
And he said unto me, aSon of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2
And the aspirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
3
And he said unto me, Son of man, I asend thee to the children of Israel, to a brebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4
For they are impudent children and astiffhearted. I do bsend thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
5
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a arebellious house,) byet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6
¶ And thou, son of man, abe not bafraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost cdwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7
And thou shalt aspeak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8
But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and aeat that I give thee.
10
And he spread it before me; and it was written awithin and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
