2:1 He said to me: “O mortal, stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2:2 And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
2:3 He said to me, “Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day.
2:4 The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
2:5 Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
2:6 And you, O mortal, do not be afraid of them, and do not be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns surround you and you live among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words, and do not be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
2:7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.
2:8 “But you, mortal, hear what I say to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
2:9 I looked, and a hand was stretched out to me, and a written scroll was in it.
