Chapter 2
001
She said to me, Daughter of woman, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.
002
The Spirit entered into me when she spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard her who spoke to me.
003
She said to me, Daughter of woman, I send you to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their mothers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
004
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I am sending you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Domina Yahweh.
005
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophetess among them.
006
You, daughter of woman, don't be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: don't be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
007
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
008
But you, daughter of woman, hear what I tell you; don't be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.
009
When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;
010
She spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
