Ezekiel 2

Common English Bible CEB

1 The voice said to me: Human one, stand on your feet, and I'll speak to you.

2 As he spoke to me, a wind came to me and stood me on my feet, and I heard someone addressing me.

3 He said to me: Human one, I'm sending you to the Israelites, a traitorous and rebellious people. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.

4 I'm sending you to their hardheaded and hard-hearted descendants, and you will say to them: The LORD God proclaims.

5 Whether they listen or whether they refuse, since they are a household of rebels, they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6 And as for you, human one, don't be afraid of them or their words. Don't be afraid! You possess thistles and thorns that subdue scorpions. Don't be afraid of their words or shrink from their presence, because they are a household of rebels.

7 You'll speak my words to them whether they listen or whether they refuse. They are just a household of rebels!

8 As for you, human one, listen to what I say to you. Don't become rebellious like that household of rebels. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.

9 Then I looked, and there in a hand stretched out to me was a scroll.

10 He spread it open in front of me, and it was filled with writing on both sides, songs of mourning, lamentation, and doom.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 He said to me: O mortal, stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you.

2 And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.

3 He said to me, Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day.

4 The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, "Thus says the Lord God."

5 Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

6 And you, O mortal, do not be afraid of them, and do not be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words, and do not be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear; for they are a rebellious house.

8 But you, mortal, hear what I say to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.

9 I looked, and a hand was stretched out to me, and a written scroll was in it.

10 He spread it before me; it had writing on the front and on the back, and written on it were words of lamentation and mourning and woe.
