以西结蒙召

那声音对我说:“人子啊,你站起来,我要对你说话。” 正说的时候,耶和华的灵就进入我里面,使我站起来。我听见那声音对我说: “人子啊,我派你去那背叛我的以色列人那里。他们和他们的祖先至今仍背叛我。 我派你到那些顽固不化的人那里,向他们宣告,‘主耶和华这样说。’ 不管那群叛逆的人听不听,他们都会知道有一位先知在他们当中。 人子啊,不要怕他们和他们的话,虽然你周围布满荆棘和毒蝎,也不要害怕。他们是一群叛逆的人,你不要怕他们的话,也不要因为他们的脸色而惊慌。 他们是叛逆的,不论他们听不听,你都要把我的话告诉他们。

“人子啊,你要听我对你说的话,不要像他们那样叛逆,要张开口吃我赐给你的。” 这时我看见一只手向我伸来,手中拿着书卷。 10 那只手把那书卷打开,书卷的两面都写满了哀伤、叹息、悲痛的话。

以西結受差派作先知

他對我說:“人子啊!站起來,我要跟你說話。” 他對我說話的時候,靈就進到我裡面,使我站立起來;我又聽見對我說話的聲音。 他對我說:“人子啊!我差派你到以色列人那裡去,就是到那背叛我的叛逆國民那裡去!他們和他們的列祖都得罪了我,直到今日。 這人民十分頑固,心裡剛硬,我差派你到他們那裡去。你要對他們說:‘主耶和華這樣說。’ 他們或聽或不聽(他們原是叛逆的民族),也必知道在他們中間有一位先知。

以西結受 神訓勉

“人子啊!至於你,雖然荊棘和蒺藜在你周圍,你又住在蠍子群中,你不要怕他們,也不要怕他們講的話。他們原是叛逆的民族,你總不要怕他們講的話,在他們面前,也不要驚惶。 他們或聽或不聽,你只要把我的話告訴他們,他們原是叛逆的。

看見書卷

“人子啊!至於你,你要聽我對你講的話。不要叛逆我,像那叛逆的民族一樣。張開你的口,把我賜給你的吃下去!” 我觀看,看見一隻手向我伸過來,手中有一卷書卷。 10 他把書卷在我面前展開,書卷內外都寫上字,寫的是哀歌、悲歎和災禍。

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

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.

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.

For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.

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.

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.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

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.

And when I looked, behold, an 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.
