| 1And He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.” | 1Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" |
| 2Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me. | 2As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. |
| 3And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed 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. |
| 4For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ | 4"I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' |
| 5As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet 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. |
| 6“And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though 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 shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. | 7"But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious. |
| 8But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give 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." |
| 9Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. | 9Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it. |
| 10Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and 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. |
