1And he said to me, “Son of Adam, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2And the spirit came into me as he spoke to me, and it stood me up on my feet, and I heard him who was speaking to me.
3And he said to me, “Son of Adam, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to the nations which are rebelling, which have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have been transgressing against me, up to this very day.
4And
their sons
are brazen-faced and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, ‘This
is what my
Lord the
Lord says.’
5And whether they heed
it, or whether they decline to – for they
are a rebellious house – they will know that a prophet was among them.
6And you, son of Adam, do not fear them, and do not fear their words, even though you
will be among briars and thorns, and you will be living among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words, and do not fear them, although they
are a rebellious house.
7And you will speak my words to them, whether they heed
them or whether they decline to, for they
are rebellious.
8But you, son of Adam, hear what I am speaking to you. Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house. Open your mouth and consume what I give you.”
9And I looked, and what
I saw
was a hand stretched out towards me, and there
was a book-scroll in it.
10And he spread it out in front of me, and
it was written on, on the inside and on the back. And lamentations and grieving and mourning
were written on it.
