1. He said to me, “Human, stand up on your feet so I may speak with you.”
2. While he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. Then I heard the Lord speaking to me.
3. He said, “Human, I am sending you to the people of Israel. That nation has turned against me and broken away from me. They and their ancestors have sinned against me until this very day.
4. I am sending you to people who are stubborn and who do not obey. You will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’
5. They may listen, or they may not, since they are a people who have turned against me. But they will know that a prophet has been among them.
