Ezekiel 2:8 in Context — Ezekiel 2

6 Y tú, hijo del hombre, no temas de ellos, ni tengas miedo de sus palabras, aunque te [hallas] entre zarzas y espinas, y tú moras con escorpiones: no tengas miedo de sus palabras, ni temas delante de ellos, porque son casa rebelde.

7 Les hablarás pues mis palabras, escuchen ó dejen de escuchar; porque son muy rebeldes.

8 Mas tú, hijo del hombre, oye lo que yo te hablo; no seas tú rebelde como la casa rebelde: abre tu boca, y come lo que yo te doy.

9 Y miré, y he aquí una mano me fué enviada, y en ella había un rollo de libro.

10 Y extendiólo delante de mí, y estaba escrito delante y detrás: y había escritas en él endechas, y lamentación, y ayes.
