Ezekiel 2:2-4

New Century Version

² While he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. Then I heard the Lord speaking to me.

³ He said, “Human, I am sending you to the people of Israel. That nation has turned against me and broken away from me. They and their ancestors have sinned against me until this very day. ⁴ I am sending you to people who are stubborn and who do not obey. You will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’
