Ezekiel 3
3:1

Moreover he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man,120 eat398 that thou findest;4672 eat398 this roll,4039 and go3212 speak1696 unto the house1004 of Israel.3478

3:2

So I opened6605 my mouth,6310 and he caused me to eat398 that roll.4039

3:3

And he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man,120 cause thy belly990 to eat,398 and fill4390 thy bowels4578 with this roll4039 that I give5414 thee. Then did I eat398 it; and it was in my mouth6310 as honey1706 for sweetness.4966

3:4

And he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man,120 go,3212 get935 thee unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 and speak1696 with my words1697 unto them.

3:5

For thou art not sent7971 to a people5971 of a strange6012 speech8193 and of an hard3515 language,3956 but to the house1004 of Israel;3478

3:6

Not to many7227 people5971 of a strange6012 speech8193 and of an hard3515 language,3956 whose words1697 thou canst not understand.8085 Surely, had I sent7971 thee to them, they would have hearkened8085 unto thee.

3:7

But the house1004 of Israel3478 will14 not hearken8085 unto thee; for they will14 not hearken8085 unto me: for all the house1004 of Israel3478 are impudent2389 and hardhearted.7186

3:8

Behold, I have made5414 thy face6440 strong2389 against5980 their faces,6440 and thy forehead4696 strong2389 against5980 their foreheads.4696

3:9

As an adamant8068 harder2389 than flint6864 have I made5414 thy forehead:4696 fear3372 them not, neither be dismayed2865 at their looks,6440 though they be a rebellious4805 house.1004

3:10

Moreover he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man,120 all my words1697 that I shall speak1696 unto thee receive3947 in thine heart,3824 and hear8085 with thine ears.241

3:11

And go,3212 get935 thee to them of the captivity,1473 unto the children1121 of thy people,5971 and speak1696 unto them, and tell559 them, Thus saith559 my Sovereign136 Yahweh;3069 whether they will hear,8085 or whether they will forbear.2308

3:12

Then the spirit7307 took me up,5375 and I heard8085 behind310 me a voice6963 of a great1419 rushing,7494 saying, Blessed1288 be the glory3519 of Yahweh3068 from his place.4725

3:13

I heard also the noise6963 of the wings3671 of the living creatures2416 that touched5401 one802 another,269 and the noise6963 of the wheels212 over against5980 them, and a noise6963 of a great1419 rushing.7494

3:14

So the spirit7307 lifted me up,5375 and took me away,3947 and I went3212 in bitterness,4751 in the heat2534 of my spirit;7307 but the hand3027 of Yahweh3068 was strong2388 upon me.

3:15

Then I came935 to them of the captivity1473 at Telabib,8512 that dwelt3427 by the river5104 of Chebar,3529 and I sat3427 where they sat,3427 and remained3427 there astonished8074 among8432 them seven7651 days.3117

3:16

And it came to pass at the end7097 of seven7651 days,3117 that the word1697 of Yahweh3068 came unto me, saying,559

3:17

Son1121 of man,120 I have made5414 thee a watchman6822 unto the house1004 of Israel:3478 therefore hear8085 the word1697 at my mouth,6310 and give them warning2094 from me.

3:18

When I say559 unto the wicked,7563 Thou shalt surely4191 die;4191 and thou givest him not warning,2094 nor speakest1696 to warn2094 the wicked7563 from his wicked7563 way,1870 to save his life;2421 the same wicked7563 man shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at thine hand.3027

3:19

Yet if thou warn2094 the wicked,7563 and he turn7725 not from his wickedness,7562 nor from his wicked7563 way,1870 he shall die4191 in his iniquity;5771 but thou hast delivered5337 thy soul.5315

3:20

Again, When a righteous6662 man doth turn7725 from his righteousness,6664 and commit6213 iniquity,5766 and I lay5414 a stumblingblock4383 before6440 him, he shall die:4191 because thou hast not given him warning,2094 he shall die4191 in his sin,2403 and his righteousness6666 which he hath done6213 shall not be remembered;2142 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at thine hand.3027

3:21

Nevertheless if thou warn2094 the righteous6662 man, that the righteous6662 sin2398 not, and he doth not sin,2398 he shall surely2421 live,2421 because he is warned;2094 also thou hast delivered5337 thy soul.5315

3:22

And the hand3027 of Yahweh3068 was there upon me; and he said559 unto me, Arise,6965 go forth3318 into the plain,1237 and I will there talk1696 with thee.

3:23

Then I arose,6965 and went forth3318 into the plain:1237 and, behold, the glory3519 of Yahweh3068 stood5975 there, as the glory3519 which I saw7200 by the river5104 of Chebar:3529 and I fell5307 on my face.6440

3:24

Then the spirit7307 entered935 into me, and set5975 me upon my feet,7272 and spake1696 with me, and said559 unto me, Go,935 shut5462 thyself within8432 thine house.1004

3:25

But thou, O son1121 of man,120 behold, they shall put5414 bands5688 upon thee, and shall bind631 thee with them, and thou shalt not go out3318 among8432 them:

3:26

And I will make thy tongue3956 cleave1692 to the roof of thy mouth,2441 that thou shalt be dumb,481 and shalt not be to them a reprover:376 for they are a rebellious4805 house.1004

3:27

But when I speak1696 with thee,854 I will open6605 thy mouth,6310 and thou shalt say559 unto them, Thus saith559 my Sovereign136 Yahweh;3069 He that heareth,8085 let him hear;8085 and he that forbeareth,2310 let him forbear:2308 for they are a rebellious4805 house.1004
