When they stood still, they would
let their wings down.
CHAP. 1 them, and you must say to them,
‘ThisiswhattheSovereignLord
25 And there came to be a
Jehovah has said.’ 5 And as for
voice above the expanse that
them, whether they will hear a or
was over their head. (When they
stood still, they would let their
will refrain b —for they are a rebellious
house c —they will certainly
wings down.) 26 And above the
know also that a proph-
expanse that was over their head
there was something in appearet
himself happened to be in the
midst of them. d
6 “And you, O son of man, do
ance like sapphire stone, a the
likeness of a throne. b And upon
the likeness of the throne there
was a likeness of someone in appearance
like an earthling man
upon it, c up above. 27 And I
got to see something like the
glow of electrum, d like the appearance
of fire all around inside
thereof, e from the appearance
of his hips and upward; and
from the appearance of his hips
and downward I saw something
like the appearance of fire, and
he had a brightness all around.
28 There was something like the
appearance of the bow f that occurs
in a cloud mass on the day
of a pouring rain. That is how the
appearance was of the brightness
round about. It was the appearance
of the likeness of the glory
of Jehovah. g When I got to see
it, then I fell upon my face, h and
I began to hear the voice of one
speaking.
2
And he proceeded to say to
me: “Son of man, i stand up
upon your feet that I may speak
with you.” j 2 And spirit began
to come into me as soon as he
spoke to me, k and it finally made
me stand up upon my feet that I
might hear the One speaking to
me. l
3 And he went on to say to
me: “Son of man, I am sending
you to the sons of Israel, m to
rebellious nations that have rebelled
against me. n They themselves
and their forefathers have
transgressed against me down to
this selfsame day. o 4 And the
sons insolent of face p and hard of
heart q —I am sending you to

not be afraid of them; e and of
their words do not be afraid, because
there are obstinate ones f
and things pricking g you and it
is among scorpions h that you are
dwelling. Of their words do not
you be afraid, i and at their faces
do not you be struck with terror, j
for they are a rebellious house. k
7 And you must speak my words
to them, regardless of whether
they hear or they refrain, for they
are a case of rebellion. l
8 “And you, O son of man,
hear what I am speaking to you.
Do not become rebellious like
the rebellious house. m Open your
mouth and eat what I am giving
you.” n
9 And I began to see, and,
look! there was a hand thrust
out to me, o and, look! in it there
was the roll of a book. p 10 And
he gradually spread it out before
me, and it was written upon in
front and on the back; q and there
were written in it dirges and
moaning and wailing. r

And he proceeded to say to
me: “Son of man, what you
find, eat. Eat this roll, s and go,
speak to the house of Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and
he gradually made me eat this
roll. t 3 And he went on to say
tome:“Sonofman,youshould
cause your own belly to eat, that
you may fill your very intestines
with this roll that I am giving
you.” And I began to eat it, and
it came to be in my mouth like
honey for sweetness. u
