Young's Literal Translation YLT
New King James Version NKJV
1 It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.'
1
And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."
2 And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto me.
2
Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.
3 And He saith unto Me, `Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same day.
3
And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
4 And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:
4
For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God.'
5 and they -- whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they [are] -- have known that a prophet hath been in their midst.
5
As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse--for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 `And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they [are] a rebellious house,
6
"And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they [are] rebellious.
7
You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.
8 `And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.'
8
But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."
9 And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,
9
Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10 and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and wo!
10
Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.
