Ezekiel’s Call

1 And he said to me, ^c“Son of man,^{1 d}stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”

2 And as he spoke to me, ^ethe Spirit entered into me and ^fset me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to ^gnations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. ^hThey and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. 4 The descendants also are ⁱimpudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ 5 And ^jwhether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are ^ga rebellious house) ^kthey will know that a prophet has been among them.
