“ Son of man , ” He said to me , “ stand up on your feet and I will speak to you. ”
And as He spoke to me , the Spirit entered and set me on my feet , and I heard - (Him) speaking to me.
“ Son of man , ” He said to me , “ I - am sending you to the Israelites ... , to a rebellious nation that has rebelled To ... this very day they and their fathers have rebelled
They are obstinate ... and stubborn ... children. I am sending - you to them , and you are to say to them , ‘ This is what the Lord GOD says. ’
And whether they listen or refuse to listen — for they are a rebellious house — they will know that a prophet has been among them.
But you , son of man , do not be afraid or their words. Do not be afraid , though briers and thorns surround you , and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence , ... though they are a rebellious ... house.
But speak - My words to them , whether they listen or refuse to listen , for they are rebellious.
And you , son of man , listen - to what I tell you. ... Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat - what I give you. ”
Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me , and was a scroll ... ,
which He unrolled - before me. - And written on the front and back - of it (were) words of lamentation , mourning , and woe.
