←Prev   Ezekial 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  The Lord said, “Ezekiel, son of man, I want you to stand up and listen.”
2:2  After he said this, his Spirit took control of me and lifted me to my feet. Then the Lord said:
2:3  Ezekiel, I am sending you to the people of Israel. They are just like their ancestors who rebelled against me and refused to stop.
2:4  They are stubborn and hardheaded. But I, the Lord God, have chosen you to tell them what I say.
2:5  Those rebels may not even listen, but at least they will know that a prophet has come to them.
2:6  Don't be afraid of them or of anything they say. You may think you're in the middle of a thorn patch or a bunch of scorpions. But be brave
2:7  and preach my message to them, whether they choose to listen or not.
2:8  Ezekiel, don't rebel against me, as they have done. Instead, listen to everything I tell you. And now, Ezekiel, open your mouth and eat what I am going to give you.
2:9  Just then, I saw a hand stretched out toward me. And in it was a scroll.
