Ezekiel 3:14-27

14So the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and took me awayH3947, and I wentH3212 in bitternessH4751, in the heatH2534 of my spiritH7307; but the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 was strongH2388 upon me.12

15Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at Tel–abibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117. 16And it came to pass at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, 17SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me. 18When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. 19Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315. 20AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.3 21Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.

22And the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 was there upon me; and he saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, go forthH3318 into the plainH1237, and I will there talkH1696 with thee. 23Then I aroseH6965, and went forthH3318 into the plainH1237: and, behold, the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068 stoodH5975 there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529: and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440. 24Then the spiritH7307 enteredH935 into me, and setH5975 me upon my feetH7272, and spakeH1696 with me, and saidH559 unto me, GoH935, shutH5462 thyself withinH8432 thine houseH1004. 25But thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, behold, they shall putH5414 bandsH5688 upon thee, and shall bindH631 thee with them, and thou shalt not go outH3318 amongH8432 them: 26And I will make thy tongueH3956 cleaveH1692 to the roof of thy mouthH2441, that thou shalt be dumbH481, and shalt not be to them a reproverH3198H376: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.4 27But when I speakH1696 withH854 thee, I will openH6605 thy mouthH6310, and thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; He that hearethH8085, let him hearH8085; and he that forbearethH2310, let him forbearH2308: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
