Ezekiel 2:1-5

1Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak to you.”

2Then as He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.

3And He said to me, “I am sending you, son of man, to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people [in both the north and the south] that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have sinned and revolted against Me to this very day.

4I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

5As for them, whether they listen or refuse [to listen]—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know and be fully aware of the fact that there has been a prophet among them.
