Ezekiel 2
The Call of
Ezekiel |
1 |
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand
upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
|
2 |
And the spirit entered into me when he
spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake
unto me.
|
3 |
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send
thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath
rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed
against me, even unto this very day.
|
4 |
For they are impudent children and
stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
|
5 |
And they, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,)
yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
|
6 |
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of
them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not
afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
|
7 |
And thou shalt speak my words unto them,
whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
|
8 |
But 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.
|
9 |
And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
|
10 |
and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: Rev. 5.1 and there was written therein lamentations, and
mourning, and woe.
