New International VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you."1He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak with you."
2As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to 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.
3He 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.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.
4The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.'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 whether they listen or fail to listen--for they are a rebellious people--they will know that a prophet has been 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 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.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.
7You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.7But speak My words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious."
8But 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."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."
9Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,9So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.
10which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament 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.
