Ezekiel:2:1-3:15
noyes@Ezekiel:2:1 @ And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:2 @ And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake with me.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation, that hath rebelled against me; they and their fathers have rebelled against me to this very day.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:4 @ Brazenfaced and stiffhearted are the sons to whom I send thee. And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:5 @ And whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are a rebellious house, yet shall they know that a prophet is in the midst of them.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and of their words be not afraid, though they be briers and thorns toward thee, and though thou dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:7 @ Speak thou my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:8 @ But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee! Be not thou rebellious, like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:9 @ And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and lo, a bookroll was therein.
noyes@Ezekiel:2:10 @ And he spread it before me, and it was written within and without. And therein was written lamentation and mourning and woe.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:1 @ And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel!
noyes@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the roll to eat.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And he said to me, Son of man, let thy stomach eat, and fill thy body with this roll which I give thee! Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:4 @ And he said to me: Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them!
noyes@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For not to a people of a dark speech and a hard language art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;
noyes@Ezekiel:3:6 @ not to many nations of a dark speech and a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Truly, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For the whole house of Israel is brazenfaced and stiffhearted.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:9 @ As an adamant, harder than flint, have I made thy forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks; for they are a rebellious house.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:10 @ Moreover, he said to me: Son of man, all my words, which I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears!
noyes@Ezekiel:3:11 @ And go, get thee to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound, as of a great rushing, saying, "Praised be the majesty of Jehovah from his place!"
noyes@Ezekiel:3:13 @ I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures, that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.
noyes@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river Chebar; and I dwelt where they dwelt; I even dwelt astonished among them seven days.
