Chapter 2

1

 

 And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you. 

 

 


2

 

 And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears. 

 

 


3

 

 And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day. 

 

 


4

 

 And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord. 

 

 


5

 

 And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them. 

 

 


6

 

 And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people. 

 

 


7

 

 And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled. 

 

 


8

 

 But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you. 

 

 


9

 

 And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it; 

 

 


10

 

 And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
