1 A nd He said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet and I will speak to you.
It the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.'
2 A nd the Spirit entered into me when He spoke to me and set me upon my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto me.
3 A nd He said to me, I send you, son of man, to the children of Israel, two rebellious nations that have rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have transgressed against Me even to this very day.
And He saith unto Me, `Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same day.
4 A nd the children are impudent and hard of heart. I send you to them and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God.
And the sons brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:
5 A nd they, whether they will hear or refuse to hear—for they are a rebellious house—yet shall they know and realize that there has been a prophet among them.
and they -- whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they -- have known that a prophet hath been in their midst.
6 A nd you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words; though briers and thorns are all around you and you dwell and sit among scorpions, be not afraid of their words nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
`And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they a rebellious house,
7 A nd you shall speak My words to them whether they will hear or refuse to hear, for they are most rebellious.
And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they rebellious.
8 A s for you, son of man, hear what I say to you; be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.
`And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.'
9 A nd when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
And I look, and lo, a hand sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,
10 A nd He spread it before me and it was written within and on the back, and written on it were words of lamentation and mourning and woe.
and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it lamentations, and mourning, and wo!
