Ezekiel 2

CHAPTER 2 Ezekiel is Commissioned Prophet to Israel

1 And he said to me, O son of man, stand upon your feet, and I shall speak to you! 2 And came upon me a spirit. And it took me up, and lifted me away, and stood me upon my feet. And I heard him speaking to me. 3 And he said to me, O son of man, I shall send you to the sons of Israel, of the ones rebelling against me; the ones who rebelled against me. They and their fathers disregarded me, until today's day. 4 And [⁴sons ¹harsh ²and ³hard-hearted] -- I shall send you to them. And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord the lord. 5 If it is so that they should hearken or be terrified, for [²house ¹it is a rebellious], yet shall they know that [²a prophet ¹you are] in the midst of them. 6 And you, O son of man, should not be afraid of them, nor be startled by their face, for they shall be heated, and shall rise up together against you round about. And [³in ⁴the midst ⁵of scorpions ¹you ²dwell]. [³their words ¹You should not ²fear], and before their face you should not be startled, for [²house ¹it is a rebellious]. 7 And you shall speak my words to them, for surely they shall hear or be terrified; for [³house ²a rebellious ¹it is]. 8 And you, O son of man, hearken to the one speaking to you! Be not rebellious as the [²house ¹rebellious]! Gape wide your mouth, and eat what I give to you! 9 And I beheld, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a roll of a scroll. 10 And he unrolled it in my presence, and was in it things being written on the front and the rear; and it had written on it a lamentation, and a strain, and a woe.
