Ezekiel 2
Chapter 2
The Prophet’s Call
1 Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak
with you!”
2 As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard
Him speaking to me.
3 Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel,
to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers
have transgressed against Me to this very day.
4 “I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children,
and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 “As for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious
house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 “And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though
thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their
words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
7 “But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not,
for they are rebellious.
8 “Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be
rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving
you.”
9 Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll
was in it.
10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and
written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
