Ezekiel 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.

2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

3 He said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Yisra'el, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I do sent you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD.

5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

6 You, son of man, don't be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: don't be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don't be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.

9 When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;

10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

The Message Bible MSG

1 It said, "Son of man, stand up. I have something to say to you."

2 The moment I heard the voice, the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. As he spoke to me, I listened.

3 He said, "Son of man, I'm sending you to the family of Israel, a rebellious nation if there ever was one. They and their ancestors have fomented rebellion right up to the present.

4 They're a hard case, these people to whom I'm sending you - hardened in their sin. Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.'

5 They are a defiant bunch. Whether or not they listen, at least they'll know that a prophet's been here.

6 But don't be afraid of them, son of man, and don't be afraid of anything they say. Don't be afraid when living among them is like stepping on thorns or finding scorpions in your bed. Don't be afraid of their mean words or their hard looks. They're a bunch of rebels.

7 Your job is to speak to them. Whether they listen is not your concern. They're hardened rebels.

8 "Only take care, son of man, that you don't rebel like these rebels. Open your mouth and eat what I give you."

9 When I looked he had his hand stretched out to me, and in the hand a book, a scroll.

10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides, front and back, were written lamentations and mourning and doom.
