New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 1
27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.
28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
Ezekiel 2
1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!"
2 As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.
3 Then He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
4 I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ’Thus says the Lord God.’
5 As for them, whether they listen or not-for they are a rebellious house-they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
7 But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
8 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
9 Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
