Ezekiel 2 — Context

And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.
