1 |Son of Man,| the LORD said, |get up on your feet. I want to talk to you.| And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
2 Even while he was speaking to me, the Spirit entered me, set me on my feet, and I listened to the voice that had been speaking to me. And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 |Son of Man, I'm sending you to that rebellious people, the Israelis, who have rebelled against me the same way their ancestors did. And they're still rebels to this very day! And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.
4 They're stubborn and strong willed. I'm sending you to them to tell them what the LORD says. The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’
5 Whether this rebellious group listens to you or not, at least they'll realize that a prophet had appeared in their midst! And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious people—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 |Now as for you, Son of Man, never be afraid of them or of anything they have to say, because being with them will be like settling down to live among briers, thorn bushes, and scorpions! Don't be afraid of anything they have to say, and don't be awed by their appearance, since they are a rebellious group. And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.
7 You are to tell them whatever I have to say to them, whether they listen or not, since they are rebellious.| And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
8 |Son of Man, you are to listen to what I tell you. You are never to be rebellious like they are: a rebellious group. Now, open your mouth and eat what I'm giving you...| “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
9 As I watched, all of a sudden there was a hand being stretched out in my direction! And there was a scroll And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,
10 being unrolled right in front of me! Written on both sides were lamentations, mourning, and cries of grief. And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe. which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
