Ezekiel’s Call to Be a Prophet
2He said to me, “Son of man,ap standq up on your feet and I will speak to you.r” 2As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised mes to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.t 4The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.u Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’v 5And whether they listen or fail to listenw—for they are a rebellious peoplex—they will know that a prophet has been among them.y 6And you, son of man, do not be afraidz of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thornsa are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.b 7You must speakc my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.d 8But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebele like that rebellious people;f open your mouth and eatg what I give you.”
9Then I looked, and I saw a handh stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,i 10which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.j
Footnotes
- aThe Hebrew phrase ben adam means human being. The phrase son of man is retained as a form of address here and throughout Ezekiel because of its possible association with “Son of Man” in the New Testament.
