1God said, "Yo, son of man, stand up and let’s chat."

2The spirit vibed into me when He spoke, and I popped up on my feet, ready to listen.

3He said, "Yo, I’m sending you to the kids of Israel, a savage nation that’s been acting up since day one."

4They’re straight-up stubborn and hard-headed. I’m sending you to them; just say what the Lord God says.

5Whether they vibe with it or not (they're a rebellious crew), they'll know a prophet’s in the house.

6And you, son of man, don’t be shook by them or their words, even if you’re surrounded by thorns and scorpions: keep it cool, don’t let their looks mess with you.

7You gotta drop my words to them, whether they’re down to listen or not: they’re super rebellious.

8But you, son of man, hear me out; don’t be rebellious like them: open your mouth and munch on what I give you.

9Then I looked, and bam, a hand came to me with a scroll in it.

10He laid it out in front of me, and it was written all over: sad stuff, mourning, and major woes.

1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

4For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.

5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

9And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

10And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
