Ezekiel 2:2-4

American Standard Version

² And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and 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 nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day. ⁴ And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: ^[a]I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
