以西结书 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以西结感灵奉遣
2 他对我说：“人子啊，你站起来，我要和你说话。” 2 他对我说话的时候，灵就进入我里面，使我站起来，我便听见那位对我说话的声音。 3 他对我说：“人子啊，我差你往悖逆的国民以色列人那里去。他们是悖逆我的，他们和他们的列祖违背我直到今日。 4 这众子面无羞耻，心里刚硬，我差你往他们那里去，你要对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说。’ 5 他们或听或不听（他们是悖逆之家），必知道在他们中间有了先知。
受主训勉
6 “人子啊，虽有荆棘和蒺藜在你那里，你又住在蝎子中间，总不要怕他们，也不要怕他们的话。他们虽是悖逆之家，还不要怕他们的话，也不要因他们的脸色惊惶。 7 他们或听或不听，你只管将我的话告诉他们，他们是极其悖逆的。
见卷
8 “人子啊，要听我对你所说的话，不要悖逆，像那悖逆之家。你要开口吃我所赐给你的。” 9 我观看，见有一只手向我伸出来，手中有一书卷。 10 他将书卷在我面前展开，内外都写着字，其上所写的有哀号、叹息、悲痛的话。
Ezekiel 2
Common English Bible
Ezekiel’s commissioning
2 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[a] 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. 5 Whether they listen or whether they refuse, since they are a household of rebels, they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And as for you, human one, don’t be afraid of them or their words. Don’t be afraid! You possess thistles and thorns that subdue scorpions.[b] Don’t be afraid of their words or shrink from their presence, because they are a household of rebels. 7 You’ll speak my words to them whether they listen or whether they refuse. They are just a household[c] of rebels!
8 As for you, human one, listen to what I say to you. Don’t become rebellious like that household of rebels. Open your mouth and eat what I give you. 9 Then I looked, and there in a hand stretched out to me was a scroll. 10 He spread it open in front of me, and it was filled with writing on both sides, songs of mourning, lamentation, and doom.

Ezekiel 2
King James Version
2 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2 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.
3 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.
4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 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.
9 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.
