| 1He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak with you." | 1Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" |
| 2As he spoke to me, a wind came into me and stood me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me. | 2As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. |
| 3He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the house of Israel, to rebellious nations who have rebelled against me; both they and their fathers have revolted against me to this very day. | 3Then 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. |
| 4The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted, and you must say to them, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says.' | 4"I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' |
| 5And as for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them. | 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. |
| 6But you, son of man, do not fear them, and do not fear their words--even though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions--do not fear their words and do not be terrified of the looks they give you, for they are a rebellious house! | 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. |
| 7You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious. | 7"But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious. |
| 8As for you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you: Do not rebel like that rebellious house! Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." | 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." |
| 9Then I looked and realized a hand was stretched out to me, and in it was a written scroll. | 9Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it. |
| 10He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front and back; written on it were laments, mourning, and woe. | 10When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe. |
