Ezekiel 3:4-14
4Then He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, 1goH1980H935 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and speakH1696 with My wordsH1697 to them. 5For 2you are not being sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of 34unintelligibleH6012 speechH8193 or difficultH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, 6norH3808 to manyH7227 peoplesH5971 of 5unintelligibleH6012 speechH8193 or difficultH3515 languageH3956, whoseH834 wordsH1697 you cannotH3808 understandH8085. 6But I have sentH7971 you to them 7who should listenH8085 to you; 7yet the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will not be willingH14 to listenH8085 to you, sinceH3588 they are 8not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me. SurelyH3588 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is 9stubbornH2389H4696 and obstinateH7186H3820. 8BeholdH2009, I have madeH5414 your faceH6440 as hardH2389 as their facesH6440 and your foreheadH4696 as hardH2389 as their foreheadsH4696. 9Like 10emeryH8068 harderH2389 thanH4480 flintH6864 I have madeH5414 your foreheadH4696. Do not be afraidH3372 of them or be dismayedH2865 beforeH4480H6440 them, thoughH3588 they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.” 10Moreover, He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 into your heartH3824 allH3605 My 11wordsH1697 whichH834 I will speakH1696 to you and listenH8085 12closelyH241. 1113GoH1980 to the exilesH1473, to the sonsH1121 of your peopleH5971, and speakH1696 to them and tellH559 them, whetherH518 they listenH8085 orH518 14not, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 15GodH3068.’”
12Then the 16SpiritH7307 liftedH5375 me up, and I heardH8085 a greatH1419 17rumblingH7494 soundH6963 behindH310 me, “BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 18in His placeH4725.” 13And I heard the soundH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the livingH2421 beingsH2421 touchingH5401 oneH802 anotherH269 and the soundH6963 of the 19wheelsH212 besideH5980 them, even a greatH1419 rumblingH7494 soundH6963. 14So the SpiritH7307 liftedH5375 me up and tookH3947 me away; and I wentH1980 embitteredH4751 in the rageH2534 of my spiritH7307, and 20the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was strongH2389 on me.
