And he
said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet,
and I will speak unto thee.
02 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.
03 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.
04 For they are impudent children and
stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou
shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
05 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.

06 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.
07 And thou shalt speak my words unto them,
whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear: for they are most rebellious.
08 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.
09 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.
