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, ‘Thus says the Lord the Lord.’
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 amongst them.
