1 And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, so that I can speak with you.”
2 And the Spirit came into me as he was speaking to me, and it set me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to nations who are rebelling, who rebelled against me, they and their ancestors, they transgressed against me until this very day.
4 And the children are impudent and stubborn, and so I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh!’
5 And they, whether they listen or whether they fail to listen, for they are a rebellious house, they will know that a prophet was in their midst.
