1And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet. I shall speak with you” 2And The Spirit entered into me when he was speaking with me, and he stood me on my feet, and I heard him who spoke with me 3And he said to me: “Son of man, I am sending to the children of Israel, to the rebel people who rebelled against me, those and their fathers, and they have done evil to me until today 4And to children who harden their faces and harden their hearts, I am sending you. Say to them, ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS’ 5Perhaps they shall hear and they shall be moved, because they are a rebellious household, and they shall know that you are a Prophet in their midst 6And you, son of man, you shall not be afraid of them, nor by their words shall you be moved, for they slander and they reject you, because you dwell among scorpions. You shall not be afraid of their words, nor by their faces shall you be shaken, because they are a rebellious house 7But speak to them my words. Perhaps they shall hear and they shall be moved, for they are a rebellious house

8But you, son of man, hear the thing that I say to you. You shall not be rebellious as the rebellious household, but open your mouth and eat the thing that I give you” 9And I saw, and behold, a hand was reaching to me and there was the scroll of a Scribe in it 10And he unrolled it in front of me, and it was written on its front and on its back, and there were written in it wailings and funeral dirges and lamentations
