Ezekiel 3:14-27

14So the SpiritH7307 liftedH5375 me upH5375 and tookH3947 me away; and I wentH1980 embitteredH4751 in the rageH2534 of my spiritH7307, and 1the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was strongH2389 on me. 15Then I cameH935 to the exilesH1473 who livedH3427 besideH413 the riverH5104 ChebarH3529 at Tel-abibH8512, and I satH3427 thereH8033 for 2sevenH7651 daysH3117 whereH8033 they were livingH3427, causingH8074 consternationH8074 amongH8432 them.

16Now 3at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 daysH3117 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 17“SonH1121 of manH120, I have appointedH5414 you as a 4watchmanH6822 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; whenever you hearH8085 a wordH1697 from My mouthH6310, 5warnH2094 them from Me. 18When I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘You will certainlyH4191 dieH4191,’ and you do not warnH2094 him or speakH1696 outH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870 so that he may liveH2421, that wickedH7563 personH7563 shall dieH4191 for wrongdoingH5771, but his 6bloodH1818 I will requireH1245 from your handH3027. 19However ifH3588 you have 7warnedH2094 the wickedH7563 and he does not turnH7725 from his wickednessH7562 or from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 for wrongdoingH5771, but you have 8savedH5337 yourselfH5315. 20Again, 9when a righteousH6662 personH6662 turnsH7725 awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6664 and commitsH6213 sinH5766, and I placeH5414 an 10obstacleH4383 beforeH6440 him, he will dieH4191; sinceH3588 you have not warnedH2094 him, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousH6666 deedsH6666 whichH834 he has doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 I will requireH1245 from your handH3027. 21However, ifH3588 you have 11warnedH2094 12the righteousH6662 personH6662 that the righteousH6662 is not to sinH2398, and he does not sinH2398, he shall certainlyH2421 liveH2421 becauseH3588 he tookH2094 warningH2094; and you have savedH5337 yourselfH5315.”

22Now the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was on me thereH8033, and He saidH559 to me, “GetH6965 upH6965, goH3318 outH3318 to the plainH1237, and thereH8033 I will 13speakH1696 to you.” 23So I gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH3318 outH3318 to the plainH1237; and beholdH2009, the 14gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 was standingH5975 thereH8033, like the gloryH3519 that 15I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529, and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440. 24But the 16SpiritH7307 enteredH935 me and setH5975 me upH5975 on my feetH7272; and He spokeH1696 with me and saidH559 to me, “GoH935, shutH5462 yourself insideH8432 your houseH1004. 25And as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, they will 17putH5414 ropesH5688 18around you and bindH631 you with them so that you do not goH3318 outH3318 amongH8432 them. 26Moreover, 19I will make your tongueH3956 stickH1692 to the roofH2441 ofH2441 your mouthH2441 so that you will be unableH481 toH481 speakH481 and will not be a manH376 who reprimandsH3198 them, sinceH3588 they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. 27But 20when I speakH1696 to you, I will openH6605 your mouthH6310 and you will sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 21GodH3068 saysH559:’ The one who hearsH8085, let him hearH8085; and the one who refusesH2310, let him refuseH2308; 22for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
