Ezekiel 2

Ezekiel's Commission and Call to a Rebellious Nation

1 min read

1

And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.

 2

And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.

 3

And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.

 4

For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says 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 has been a prophet among them. ¶

 6

And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

 7

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

 8

But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you. ¶

 9

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, 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.
