| 1 | And he
said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | 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. |
|
4 | For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send 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 rebellious house,) yet shall know
that there hath been a prophet among them. |
| 6 | And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be
afraid of their words, though briers and thorns 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. |
| 7 | And thou shalt speak 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 eat that I give thee. |
| 9
| And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll
of a book was therein; |
| 10 |
And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and
there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. |
