Ezekiel's Call to Be a Prophet

   1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your

feet and I will speak to you."   2 As he spoke, the Spirit

came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him

speaking to me.

   3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the

Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled

against me; they and their ancestors have been in

revolt against me to this very day.   4 The people to

whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.

Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereingn LORD says.'

5 And whether they listen or fail to listen--for they are a

rebellious people--they will know that a prophet has

been among them.   6 And you, son of man, do not be

afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though

briers and thorns are all around you and you live among

scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be

terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.

7 You must speak my words to them, whether they

listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.   8 But you,

son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like

that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I

give you."

   9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to

me. In it was a scroll,   10 which he unrolled before me.

On both sides of it were written words of lament and

mourning and woe.
