Ezekiel 3:4-14
4And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, goH3212, getH935 thee unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and speakH1696 with my wordsH1697 unto them. 5For thou art not sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478;1 6Not to manyH7227 peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, whose wordsH1697 thou canst not understandH8085. Surely, had I sentH7971 thee to them, they would have hearkenedH8085 unto thee.23 7But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH4696H2389 and hardheartedH3820H7186.4 8Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696. 9As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. 10Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, all my wordsH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee receiveH3947 in thine heartH3824, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241. 11And goH3212, getH935 thee to them of the captivityH1473, unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and speakH1696 unto them, and tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; whether they will hearH8085, or whether they will forbearH2308. 12Then the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and I heardH8085 behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494, saying, BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068 from his placeH4725. 13I heard also the noiseH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the living creaturesH2416 that touchedH5401 oneH802 anotherH269, and the noiseH6963 of the wheelsH212 over againstH5980 them, and a noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494.5 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.67
