**1 **And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. **2 **And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. **3 **And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, *even* unto this very day. **4 **For *they are* impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. **5 **And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they *are* a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. **6 **And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns *be* with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they *be* a rebellious house. **7 **And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they *are* most rebellious.

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