Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ezekiel 1
²⁵ A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.
²⁶ And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.
²⁷ Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.
²⁸ Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
Ezekiel 2
¹ And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."
² Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.
³ And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
⁴ For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ’Thus says the Lord God.’
⁵ As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse--for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.
⁶ "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
⁷ You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.
