1
And he said to me, "Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak with you."
2
And when he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.
3
And he said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels, who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day.
4
The people also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them; and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'
5
And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
