[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48]

2:1 And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

2:2 And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

2:3 And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

2:4 And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.

2:5 And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.

2:6 And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

2:7 And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.

2:8 But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.

2:9 And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;

2:10 And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
