Ezekiel 2

And he said unto me, ^aSon of man, ^bstand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. ^2cAnd the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and ^bcset me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. ³And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: ^dthey and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. ⁴For ^ethey are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. ⁵And they, ^fwhether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for ^fgthey are a rebellious house,) yet ^hshall know that there hath been a prophet among them. ⁶And thou, ^ason of man, ⁱbe not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though ^kbriers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among ^lscorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor ⁱbe dismayed at their looks, though ^gthey be a rebellious house. ^7mAnd thou shalt speak my words unto them, ^fwhether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. ⁸But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that ^grebellious house: open thy mouth, and ⁿeat that I give thee.

⁹And when I looked, behold, ^oa hand was sent unto me; and lo, ^pa roll of a book was therein; ¹⁰and he spread it before me; and it was written ^qwithin and without: and ^rthere was written therein lamentations, and ^smourning, and woe.
