2:1 This was the appearance of the likeness
of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the
voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet,
and I will speak to thee.
2:2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me
on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
2:3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel,
them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this
day.
2:4 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.
2:5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear. (for it is a provoking
house,) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
2:6 And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for
they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou
dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be
dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
2:7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear:
for it is a provoking house.
2:8 And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou
provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
2:9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume
of a book.
2:10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were
written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful
song, and woe. |
2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand
upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2:2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my
feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
2:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel,
to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers
have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
2:4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto
them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
2:5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for
they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet
among them.
2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their
words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among
scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks,
though they be a rebellious house.
2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
2:8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious
like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of
a book was therein;
2:10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and
there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. |
