The Prophet’s Call
Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!”
Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!”
Ezekiel’s Call and Commission
“Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.”
“Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.”
As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.
The Spirit came into me as he spoke, and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.
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.

“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.”
