1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.1He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak with you."
2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.2As He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I listened to the One who was speaking to me.
3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.3He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to the rebellious pagans who have rebelled against Me. The Israelites and their ancestors have transgressed against Me to this day.
4For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.4The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, 'This is what the Lord GOD says.'
5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.5Whether they listen or refuse to listen--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them."
6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.6But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words, though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of their words or be discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.
7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.7But speak My words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious."
8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.8And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you: Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
9And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;9So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.
10And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.10When He unrolled it before me, it was written on the front and back; words of lamentation, mourning, and woe were written on it.
