1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon yourⁱ feet, and I will speak unto youⁱ. 2And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me. 3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send youⁱ to the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day. 4For [they are] impudent (shameless; without modesty) children and stiffhearted. I do send youⁱ unto them; and youⁱ shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER). 5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will refrain (restrain; refrein from acting), (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them. 6And youⁱ, Son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with youⁱ, and youⁱ do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house. 7And youⁱ shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will refrain (restrain; refrein from acting): for they [are] most rebellious.

8But youⁱ, Son of man, hear what I say unto youⁱ; Be not youⁱ rebellious like that rebellious house: open yourⁱ mouth, and eat that I give youⁱ. 9And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] in it; 10And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
