The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Ezekiel 02
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand on
your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 The Spirit entered into me when he
spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I
heard him who spoke to me.
3 He saidtome, “Sonofman,I sendyouto
the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels
who have rebelled against me. They and
their fathers have transgressed against me
even to this very day.
4 The children are impudent and stiffhearted.
I am sending you to them, and
you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord†
Yahweh says.’
5 They, whether they will hear, or
whether they will refuse—for they are a
rebellious house—yet they will know that
there has been a prophet among them.
6 You, son of man, don’t be afraid of
them, neither be afraid of their words,
though briers and thorns are with you,
and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be
afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at
their looks, though they are a rebellious
house.
7 You shall speak my words to them,
whether they will hear or whether they
will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell
you. Don’tbe rebellious like that rebellious
house. Open your mouth, and eat that
which I give you.”
9 When I looked, behold, a hand was
stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of
a book was in it.
10 He spread it before me. It was
written within and without; and lamentations,
mourning, and woe were written in it.
