Ezekiel 3:22-27

22The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and I will speak with you there.”

23So I got up and went out to the plain. The Lord’s glory was present there, like the glory I had seen by the Chebar Canal, and I fell facedown.

24The Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

25As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so you cannot go out among them.

26I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be mute and unable to be a mediator for them, for they are a rebellious house.

27But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ Let the one who listens, listen, and let the one who refuses, refuse — for they are a rebellious house.
