Ezekiel 2:1-4

He said to me, “Son of man, rise to your feet; I want to talk to you.” The moment I heard these words, the Spirit flowed into me and set me upright on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me, saying, “Son of man, I am sending you to the rebellious sons of Israel who have refused allegiance to me. They and their ancestors have been in revolt against me up to the present day. I am sending you to a stubborn and hard-hearted people. Tell them, ‘Lord YAHWEH says this.’
