Ezekiel

2 1 AND he said unto me, ^aSon of man, stand ^bupon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

2 And the ^cspirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and ^dset me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, ^eI send thee to the children of Israel, to a ^frebellious ¹nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

4 For ^gthey are ²impudent children and stiffhearted. I do ^hsend thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

5 And they, ⁱwhether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet ^jshall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

6 ¶And thou, son of man, ^kbe not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though ³briers and thorns be ^lwith thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: ^mbe not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

7 And ⁿthou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most ⁴rebellious.

8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; ^oBe not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and ^peat that I give thee.

9 ¶And when I looked, behold, ^qan hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a ^r*roll of a book was therein;

10 And he ^sspread it before me; and it was ^twritten within and ^*without: ^uand there was written therein ^vlamentations, and mourning, and woe.
