Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 2
2
1And He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, so that I speak to you.”
2And the Spirit entered into me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet. And I heard Him who was speaking to me.
3And He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Yisra’ĕl, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have transgressed against Me, until this day.
4“And the children are stiff of face and hard of heart to whom I am sending you, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה.’
5“And they – whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are a rebellious house – shall know that a prophet has been in their midst.
6“And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or discouraged by their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
7“And you shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.
8“And you, son of man, hear what I am speaking to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house, open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”
9And I looked and saw a hand stretched out to me. And see, a scroll of a book was in it,
10and He spread it before me, and it was written on the inside and on the outside. And written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 2
2
The Lord Chooses Ezekiel
1The Lord#2.1 The Lord: Hebrew “The voice.” said, “Ezekiel, son of man,#2.1 Ezekiel, son of man: The Hebrew text has “Son of man,” which is often used in this book when the Lord speaks directly to Ezekiel. It means that Ezekiel is a mere human, yet he is the one the Lord has chosen to be his prophet who speaks for him to the people of Israel. I want you to stand up and listen.” 2After he said this, his Spirit took control of me and lifted me to my feet. Then the Lord said:
3Ezekiel, I am sending you to the people of Israel. They are just like their ancestors who rebelled against me and refused to stop. 4They are stubborn and hardheaded. But I, the Lord God, have chosen you to tell them what I say. 5Those rebels may not even listen, but at least they will know that a prophet has come to them.
6Don't be afraid of them or of anything they say. You may think you're in the middle of a thorn patch or a bunch of scorpions. But be brave 7and preach my message to them, whether they choose to listen or not. 8Ezekiel, don't rebel against me, as they have done. Instead, listen to everything I tell you.
And now, Ezekiel, open your mouth and eat what I am going to give you.

Rev 5.1. Just then, I saw a hand stretched out toward me. And in it was a scroll.#2.9 scroll: A roll of paper or special leather used for writing on. 10The hand opened the scroll, and both sides of it were filled with words of sadness, mourning, and grief.
