   Ezekiel's commission--His instruction--The roll.
   1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
   
2 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.
   
3 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.
   
4 For they are impudent children and stiff-hearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
   
5 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.
   
6 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.
   
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
   
8 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.
   
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and lo, a roll of a book was therein;
   
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
