EZE-3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou 
findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.



EZE-3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.



EZE-3:3 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.



EZE-3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the 
house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.



EZE-3:5 For thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange speech 
and of an hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;



EZE-3:6 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.



EZE-3:7 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.



EZE-3:8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, 
and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.



EZE-3:9 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.



EZE-3:10 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.



EZE-3:11 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.



EZE-3:12 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.



EZE-3:13 [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.



EZE-3:14 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.



EZE-3:15 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.



EZE-3:16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the 
word of the LORD came unto me, saying,



EZE-3:17 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.



EZE-3:18 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.



EZE-3:19 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.



EZE-3:20 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.



EZE-3:21 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.



EZE-3:22 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.



EZE-3:23 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.



EZE-3:24 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.



EZE-3:25 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:



EZE-3:26 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.



EZE-3:27 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.
