Ezekiel 2
New American Standard Bible 2020
The Prophet’s Call
1Then He said to me, “Son of man, 1stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” 2And as He spoke to me the 2Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. 3Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have 3rebelled against Me; 4they and their fathers have revolted against Me to this very day. 4So I am sending you to those who are 56impudent and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord 7God says:’ 5As for them, 8whether they listen or 9not--for they are a rebellious house--they will 10know that a prophet has been among them. 6And as for you, son of man, you are 11not to fear them nor fear their words, though 12thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; you are not to fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, since they are a rebellious house. 7But you shall 13speak My words to them 14whether they listen or 15not, for they are rebellious.
8“Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth wide and 16eat what I am giving you.” 9Then I looked, and behold, a 17hand was extended to me; and behold, a 1819scroll was in it. 10When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were songs of mourning, sighing, and 20woe.
