Ezekiel 2

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

He gently told me, "Human, rise to your feet, and I will share my words with you."

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.

When He spoke to me, His spirit filled me, lifting me up and enabling me to hear His voice.

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.

He told me, "Human, I'm sending you to the people of Israel. They're a stubborn lot, always rebelling against me. They and their ancestors have been defying me till this very moment."

For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

These children are stubborn and defiant. I am sending you to them, and you must tell them, "This is what the Lord GOD says."

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.

Regardless of whether they choose to listen or stubbornly ignore, they will eventually realize that a prophet has indeed lived among them.

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.

Hey there, don't let their harsh words or intimidating looks scare you. Even if you're surrounded by danger and negativity, stay strong. Don't let their rebellion shake you.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

Share my message with them, regardless if they listen or ignore you, for they are highly stubborn.

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.

Listen closely, my child, to my words. Don't be defiant like those who resist me. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

When I glanced, to my surprise, a hand reached out to me, holding a scroll from a book.

And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

He unfolded it before my eyes; it was filled with words of sorrow, grief, and despair, both inside and out.
