Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand up, and I will speak with you.”
2 Then a spirit entered me as he spoke to me and set me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have defied me to this very day.
4 Their children are hard-faced and stubborn-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 Whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. You are among nettles and thorns, and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or be terrified of them, for they are a rebellious house.
7 You will speak my words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
8 And you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
9 I looked, and there was a hand stretched out toward me, and in it was a scroll.
10 He unrolled it before me, and it was written on both sides. Written on it were laments, groans, and cries of woe.
