1His appearance [was] of the likeness of the glory of YHWH, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He says to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I speak with you.” 2And [the] Spirit comes into me when He has spoken to me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking to me. 3And He says to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to rebelling nations who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, to this very day. 4And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending you, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH. 5And they—whether they hear, or whether they refrain, for they [are] a house of rebellion—have known that a prophet has been in their midst. 6And you, son of man, you are not afraid of them, indeed, you are not afraid of their words, for briers and thorns are with you, and you are dwelling near scorpions, you are not afraid of their words, and you are not frightened of their faces, for they [are] a house of rebellion, 7and you have spoken My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refrain, for they [are] a rebellion.

8And you, son of man, hear that which I am speaking to you; do not be of rebellion like the house of rebellion, open your mouth and eat that which I am giving to you.” 9And I look, and behold, a hand [is] sent forth to me, and behold, a roll of a scroll [is] in it, 10and He spreads it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
