26_EZE_03_01 moreover he said unto me, son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, And go speak unto the house of Israel.
26_EZE_03_02 So I opened my mouth, And he caused me to eat that roll.
26_EZE_03_03 And he said unto me, son of man, cause thy belly to eat, And fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [ it]; And it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
26_EZE_03_04 And he said unto me, son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, And speak with my words unto them.
26_EZE_03_05 for thou [ art] not sent to A people of A strange speech And of an hard language, [ but] to the house of Israel;
26_EZE_03_06 not to Many people of A strange speech And of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
26_EZE_03_07 but the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel [ are] impudent And hardhearted.
26_EZE_03_08 behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, And thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
26_EZE_03_09 as an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: Fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [ be] A rebellious house.
26_EZE_03_10 moreover he said unto me, son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, And hear with thine ears.
26_EZE_03_11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, And speak unto them, And tell them, thus saith the LORD God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
26_EZE_03_12 Then the spirit took me up, And I heard behind me A voice of A great rushing, [ saying], blessed [ be] the glory of the LORD from his place.
26_EZE_03_13 [ I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, And the noise of the wheels over against them, And A noise of A great rushing.
26_EZE_03_14 So the spirit lifted me up, And took me away, And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
26_EZE_03_15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, And I sat where they sat, And remained there astonished among them seven days.
26_EZE_03_16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26_EZE_03_17 son of man, I have made thee A watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, And give them warning from me.
26_EZE_03_18 when I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die; And thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [ man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
26_EZE_03_19 yet if thou warn the wicked, And he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
26_EZE_03_20 again, when A righteous [ man] Doth turn from his righteousness, And commit iniquity, And I lay A stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, And his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
26_EZE_03_21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [ man], that the righteous sin not, And he Doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he Is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
26_EZE_03_22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; And he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, And I will there talk with thee.
26_EZE_03_23 Then I arose, And went forth into the plain: And, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: And I fell on my face.
26_EZE_03_24 Then the spirit entered into me, And set me upon my feet, And spake with me, And said unto me, go, shut thyself within thine house.
26_EZE_03_25 but thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, And shall bind thee with them, And thou shalt not go out among them:
26_EZE_03_26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, And shalt not be to them A reprover: for they [ are] A rebellious house.
26_EZE_03_27 but when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, And thou shalt say unto them, thus saith the LORD God; he that heareth, let him hear; And he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [ are] A rebellious house.
