Ezekiel:2:1-3:15
bes@Ezekiel:2:1 @ This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
bes@Ezekiel:2:2 @ And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
bes@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
bes@Ezekiel:2:4 @
bes@Ezekiel:2:5 @ Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear. (for it is a provoking house,) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
bes@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will (note:)See 2 Co strkjv@11:28(:note) rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
bes@Ezekiel:2:7 @ And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
bes@Ezekiel:2:8 @ And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
bes@Ezekiel:2:9 @ And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
bes@Ezekiel:2:10 @ And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written upon: and there was written in it Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
bes@Ezekiel:3:1 @ And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
bes@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
bes@Ezekiel:3:3 @ thy mouth shall eat, and thy belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to thee. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
bes@Ezekiel:3:4 @ And he said to me, Son of man, go thy way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
bes@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For thou art not sent to a people (note:)Gr. of deep tongue(:note) of hard speech, but to the house of Israel;
bes@Ezekiel:3:6 @ neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words thou wouldest not understand: although if I had sent thee to such, they would have hearkened to thee.
bes@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
bes@Ezekiel:3:8 @ And, behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen thy (note:)Gr. victory, see Hebrews.(:note) power against their power.
bes@Ezekiel:3:9 @ And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
bes@Ezekiel:3:10 @ And he said to me, Son of man, receive into thine heart all the words that I have spoken to thee, and hear them with thine ears.
bes@Ezekiel:3:11 @ And go thy way, go in to the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
bes@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice as of a great earthquake, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
bes@Ezekiel:3:13 @ And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
bes@Ezekiel:3:14 @ And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
bes@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then I (note:)See Hebrews.(:note) passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round to them that dwelt by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
