And he said[H559] unto me, Son[H1121] of man[H120], stand[H5975] upon thy feet[H7272], and I will speak[H1696] unto thee.
2
And the spirit[H7307]entered[H935] into me when he spake[H1696] unto me, and set[H5975] me upon my feet[H7272], that I heard[H8085] him that spake[H1696] unto me.
3
And he said[H559] unto me, Son[H1121] of man[H120], I send[H7971] thee to the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], to a rebellious[H4775]nation[H1471] that hath rebelled[H4775] against me: they and their fathers[H1] have transgressed[H6586] against me, even unto this very[H6106]day[H3117].
4
For they are impudent[H7186]children[H1121] and stiffhearted[H2389]. I do send[H7971] thee unto them; and thou shalt say[H559] unto them, Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069].
5
And they, whether they will hear[H8085], or whether they will forbear,(for they are a rebellious[H4805]house[H1004],) yet shall know[H3045] that there hath been a prophet[H5030]among[H8432] them.
6
And thou, son[H1121] of man[H120], be not afraid[H3372] of them, neither be afraid[H3372] of their words[H1697], though briers[H5621] and thorns[H5544] be with thee, and thou dost dwell[H3427] among scorpions[H6137]: be not afraid[H3372] of their words[H1697], nor be dismayed[H2865] at their looks[H6440], though they be a rebellious[H4805]house[H1004].
7
And thou shalt speak[H1696] my words[H1697] unto them, whether they will hear[H8085], or whether they will forbear[H2308]: for they are most rebellious[H4805].
8
But thou, son[H1121] of man[H120], hear[H8085] what I say[H1696] unto thee; Be not[H1961] thou rebellious[H4805] like that rebellious[H4805]house[H1004]: open[H6475] thy mouth[H6310], and eat[H398] that I give[H5414] thee.

And when I looked[H7200], behold, an hand[H3027] was sent[H7971] unto me; and, lo, a roll[H4039] of a book[H5612] was therein;
10
And he spread[H6566] it before[H6440] me; and it was written[H3789]within[H6440] and without[H268]: and there was written[H3789] therein lamentations[H7015], and mourning[H1899], and woe[H1958].
