 And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day. The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God.
