- Chapter 2 -

1
He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”
2
Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3
He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me-both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to this very day!
4
Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, ‘This is what Lord Yahweh says.’
5
Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has been among them.
6
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.
7
But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most rebellious.
8
But you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”
9
Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written scroll.
10
He spread it out before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.

1
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3
He said to me, “Son of man, I send 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.
4
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord (a) GOD says.’
5
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
6
You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
