Ezekiel 2 (WEBP)

[1] He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
[2] The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
[3] He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
[4] The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’
[5] They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
[6] You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
[7] You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
[8] But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
[9] When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
[10] He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

Ezekiel 2:4 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 2 (YLT)

[1] It is the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.’
[2] And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto me.
[3] And He saith unto Me, ‘Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same day.
[4] And the sons are brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:
[5] and they-whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they are-have known that a prophet hath been in their midst.
[6] ‘And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they are a rebellious house,
[7] And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they are rebellious.
[8] ‘And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.’
[9] And I look, and lo, a hand is sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,
[10] and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it are lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
