Ezekiel 2:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 2:2

1 And He said to me, “Son of man, ^astand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”

2 Then ^athe Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.

3 And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has ^arebelled against Me; ^bthey and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

4 ^aFor they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

5 ^aAs for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a ^brebellious house—yet they ^cwill know that a prophet has been among them.

6 “And you, son of man, ^ado not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though ^bbriers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; ^cdo not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, ^dthough they are a rebellious house.

7 ^aYou shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and ^aeat what I give you.”

9 Now when I looked, there was ^aa hand stretched out to me; and behold, ^ba scroll of a book was in it.

10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.
