1 It is the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.' 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 And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto 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 And He saith unto Me, 'Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same 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 And the sons are brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 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 and they -- whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they are -- have known that a prophet hath been 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 And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they are a rebellious house, 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 And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for 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 'And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.' “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 And I look, and lo, a hand is sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book, 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 and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it are lamentations, and mourning, and woe! 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.
