dourh - Ezekiel:2:1-3:15

dourh@Ezekiel:2:1 @ This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:2 @ And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,

dourh@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:4 @ And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:

dourh@Ezekiel:2:5 @ If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:7 @ And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:8 @ But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

dourh@Ezekiel:2:9 @ And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up: and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:1 @ And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:2 @ And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:

dourh@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:4 @ And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:

dourh@Ezekiel:3:6 @ Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:9 @ I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:10 @ And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:

dourh@Ezekiel:3:11 @ And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:12 @ And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:13 @ And the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:14 @ The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.

dourh@Ezekiel:3:15 @ And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
