Visione del libro
2 Mi disse: «Figlio dell'uomo, alzati, ti voglio parlare». 2 Ciò detto, uno spirito entrò in me, mi fece alzare in piedi e io ascoltai colui che mi parlava.
3 Mi disse: «Figlio dell'uomo, io ti mando agli Israeliti, a un popolo di ribelli, che si sono rivoltati contro di me. Essi e i loro padri hanno peccato contro di me fino ad oggi. 4 Quelli ai quali ti mando sono figli testardi e dal cuore indurito. Tu dirai loro: Dice il Signore Dio. 5 Ascoltino o non ascoltino - perché sono una genìa di ribelli - sapranno almeno che un profeta si trova in mezzo a loro.
6 Ma tu, figlio dell'uomo non li temere, non aver paura delle loro parole; saranno per te come cardi e spine e ti troverai in mezzo a scorpioni; ma tu non temere le loro parole, non t'impressionino le loro facce, sono una genìa di ribelli. 7 Tu riferirai loro le mie parole, ascoltino o no, perché sono una genìa di ribelli.
8 E tu, figlio dell'uomo, ascolta ciò che ti dico e non esser ribelle come questa genìa di ribelli; apri la bocca e mangia ciò che io ti do». 9 Io guardai ed ecco, una mano tesa verso di me teneva un rotolo. Lo spiegò davanti a me; era scritto all'interno e all'esterno e vi erano scritti lamenti, pianti e guai.

Ezekiel’s Call to Be a Prophet
2 He said to me, “Son of man,[a](A) stand(B) up on your feet and I will speak to you.(C)” 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me(D) to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.(E) 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.(F) Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(G) 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen(H)—for they are a rebellious people(I)—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(J) 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid(K) of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns(L) are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.(M) 7 You must speak(N) my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.(O) 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel(P) like that rebellious people;(Q) open your mouth and eat(R) what I give you.”
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand(S) stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,(T) 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.(U)
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 2:1 The Hebrew phrase ben adam means human being. The phrase son of man is retained as a form of address here and throughout Ezekiel because of its possible association with “Son of Man” in the New Testament.

Ezekiel's Call
2 And he said to me, (A)“Son of man,[a] (B)stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” 2 And as he spoke to me, (C)the Spirit entered into me and (D)set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to (E)nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. (F)They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. 4 The descendants also are (G)impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ 5 And (H)whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are (I)a rebellious house) (J)they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, (K)be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, (L)though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on (M)scorpions.[b] Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. 7 And you shall speak my words to them, (N)whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.
8 “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. (O)Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and (P)eat what I give you.” 9 And when I looked, behold, (Q)a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, (R)a scroll of a book was in it. 10 And he spread it before me. And it had writing (S)on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.
