* And he said unto me , Son of man , stand up upon thy feet , and I will speak with thee . * And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me , and it placed me upon my feet , and I heard him that spoke unto me . * And he said unto me , Son of man , I send thee to the children of Israel , to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me : they and their fathers have transgressed against me , even until this very day . * And the children are impudent of face , and obdurate of heart : I send thee unto them ; and thou shalt say unto them , Thus hath said the Lord Eternal . * And they , whether they will hear , or whether they will forbear , shall yet know that a prophet hath been among them . * And thou , son of man ,––thou shalt not be afraid of them , and of their words thou shalt have no fear , though they be briers and thorns with thee , and thou dost dwell among scorpions : of their words be not afraid , and at their presence be not dismayed ; for they are a rebellious family . * And thou shalt speak my words unto them , whether they will hear , or whether they will forbear ; for they are rebellious . * But thou , son of man , hear what I am speaking unto thee , Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family : open thy mouth , and eat what I give unto thee . * And then I looked , and behold , a hand was stretched out toward me ; and , lo , a roll –book was therein ; * And he spread it out before me ; and it was written within and without : and there were written therein lamentations , and dirges , and woe .
