1And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. 2And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me. 3And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day. 4For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, & thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lorde God. 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. 6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house. 7Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious. 8But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee. 9And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein. 10And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
