Ezekiel Chapter 2    

¹He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
  ²When he spoke to me the spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him who spoke to me.
  ³He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
  ⁴The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you must tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’
  ⁵And whether they will hear or whether they will refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
 

⁶You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briars and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
  ⁷You are to speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse to hear, for they are most rebellious.
 

⁸But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth, and eat what I give you.”
  ⁹When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was in it;
  ¹⁰he spread it before me, and it was written inside and outside, and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
