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.”

[1] And he said H559 (8799) unto me, Son H1121 of man H120, stand H5975 (8798) upon thy feet H7272, and I will speak H1696 (8762) unto thee.
[2] And the spirit H7307 entered H935 (8799) into me when he spake H1696 (8765) unto me, and set H5975 (8686) me upon my feet H7272, that I heard H8085 (8799) him that spake H1696 (8693) unto me.
[3] And he said H559 (8799) unto me, Son H1121 of man H120, I send H7971 (8802) thee to the children H1121 of Israel H3478, to a rebellious H4775 (8802) nation H1471 that hath rebelled H4775 (8804) against me: they and their fathers H1 have transgressed H6586 (8804) against me, [even] unto this very H6106 day H3117.
[4] For [they are] impudent H7186 H6440 children H1121 and stiffhearted H2389 H3820. I do send H7971 (8802) thee unto them; and thou shalt say H559 (8804) unto them, Thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069.
[5] And they, whether they will hear H8085 (8799), or whether they will forbear H2308 (8799), (for they [are] a rebellious H4805 house H1004,) yet shall know H3045 (8804) that there hath been a prophet H5030 among H8432 them.
[6] And thou, son H1121 of man H120, be not afraid H3372 (8799) of them, neither be afraid H3372 (8799) of their words H1697, though briers H5621 and thorns H5544 [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell H3427 (8802) among scorpions H6137: be not afraid H3372 (8799) of their words H1697, nor be dismayed H2865 (8735) at their looks H6440, though they [be] a rebellious H4805 house H1004.
[7] And thou shalt speak H1696 (8765) my words H1697 unto them, whether they will hear H8085 (8799), or whether they will forbear H2308 (8799): for they [are] most rebellious H4805.
[8] But thou, son H1121 of man H120, hear H8085 (8798) what I say H1696 (8764) unto thee; Be not H1961 (8799) thou rebellious H4805 like that rebellious H4805 house H1004: open H6475 (8798) thy mouth H6310, and eat H398 (8798) that I give H5414 (8802) thee.
[9] And when I looked H7200 (8799), behold, an hand H3027 [was] sent H7971 (8803) unto me; and, lo, a roll H4039 of a book H5612 [was] therein;
[10] And he spread H6566 (8799) it before H6440 me; and it [was] written H3789 (8803) within H6440 and without H268: and [there was] written H3789 (8803) therein lamentations H7015, and mourning H1899, and woe H1958.
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!
