New King James VersionNET Bible
1And He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”1He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak with you."
2Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.2As he spoke to me, a wind came into me and stood me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.
3And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.3He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the house of Israel, to rebellious nations who have rebelled against me; both they and their fathers have revolted against me to this very day.
4For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’4The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and hard-hearted, and you must say to them, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says.'
5As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.5And as for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6“And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.6But you, son of man, do not fear them, and do not fear their words--even though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions--do not fear their words and do not be terrified of the looks they give you, for they are a rebellious house!
7You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.7You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
8But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”8As for you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you: Do not rebel like that rebellious house! Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
9Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.9Then I looked and realized a hand was stretched out to me, and in it was a written scroll.
10Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.10He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front and back; written on it were laments, mourning, and woe.
