“ Son of man, these rebels, the people of Israel, have asked you what all this means.

“人子啊，以色列家，就是那悖逆之家，岂不是问你说：‘你做什么呢？’

人子歟、以色列族、悖逆之家、未問爾曰、爾何為乎、

人子、以色列違逆之家問爾何為、

“ Son of man, did not the Israelites, that rebellious people, ask you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Son of man, didn’t the Israelites ask you,‘ What are you doing?’ They always refuse to obey me.

“ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, that rebellious house, asked you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Son of man, has the house of Israel, the rebellious house, not said to you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you,‘ What are you doing?’

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

“ Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, that rebellious house, asked you,‘ What are you doing?’

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

“ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, said to you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you,‘ What are you doing?’

“ Say to these rebels of Israel: Don’t you understand the meaning of this riddle of the eagles? The king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took away her king and princes, and brought them to Babylon.

Then the people asked,“ What does all this mean? What are you trying to tell us?”

Then I said,“ O Sovereign Lord, they are saying of me,‘ He only talks in riddles!’”

And whether they listen or refuse to listen— for remember, they are rebels— at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.“ Son of man, do not fear them or their words. Don’t be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels.You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious!Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you.”

Again a message came to me from the Lord:“ Son of man, you live among rebels who have eyes but refuse to see. They have ears but refuse to hear. For they are a rebellious people.“ So now, son of man, pretend you are being sent into exile. Pack the few items an exile could carry, and leave your home to go somewhere else. Do this right in front of the people so they can see you. For perhaps they will pay attention to this, even though they are such rebels.
