Darby - Ezekiel - 2

2:1  And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2:2  And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.

2:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very day;

2:4  and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

2:5  And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them.

2:6  And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.

2:7  And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.

2:8  And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

2:9  And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.

2:10  And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
