New International Version NIV
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
1
He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
2 And spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me and set me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto me.
2
As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to rebellious Gentiles that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have rebelled against me, <em>even</em> unto this very day.
3
He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.
4 And to sons <em>that have</em> hard faces and strong hearts do I send thee; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said.
4
The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’
5 And they will not hear nor forbear (for they <em>are</em> a rebellious house), but they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
5
And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious people—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And thou, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, for they are rebels; though thou find thyself among thorns and thy dwelling be with briers, do not be afraid of their words, nor fear before them, for they are a rebellious house.
6
And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, but they will not hear nor forbear, for they are rebels.
7
You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
8
But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
9 And I looked, and behold, <em>a</em> hand was sent unto me; and in it was <em>the</em> roll of a book,
9
Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,
10 and he spread it before me; and it <em>was</em> written within and without; and <em>there was</em> written therein lamentations and mourning and woes.
10
which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
