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. |
