1. The voice said to me: Human one, stand on your feet, and I’ll speak to you.
2. As he spoke to me, a wind came to me and stood me on my feet, and I heard someone addressing me.
3. He said to me: Human one, I’m sending you to the Israelites, a traitorous and rebellious people. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.
4. I’m sending you to their hardheaded and hard-hearted descendants, and you will say to them: The Lord God proclaims.
