The Prophecy
of Ezechiel 2
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of
the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I
heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me:
Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to
thee.
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to
me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking
to me,
And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children
of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted
from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed
my covenant even unto this day.
And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard
face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say
to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they
will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they
shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst
of them.
And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid
of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers,
and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words,
neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are
a provoking house.
And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they
will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.
But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee:
and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh
me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein
was a book rolled up: and he spread it before me, and
it was written within and without: and there were written
in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
