Eze 3:22–27

3:22 Yehezkel’s calling

22 Then Yahweh’s hand was on me there, and he told me, “Get ready and go out into the plain, and I’ll speak with you there.”

23 I got up and went out into the plain where Yahweh’s glory was staying, like the glory I’d seen beside the Kevar Canal, so I fell to my knees and bowed low to the ground. 24 Then the spirit entered me and stood me up on my feet, and spoke with me, telling me: Go and shut yourself up in your house. 25 Son of humanity, people will tie you up with ropes so that you’ll be unable to go outside. 26 Then I’ll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you’ll become mute, and although they’re rebellious people, you won’t be able to tell them off. 27 But when I speak to you, I’ll open your mouth so you’ll be able to tell them, ‘This is what the master Yahweh says.’ The ones who will hear will hear, but the ones who won’t listen won’t listen, because they’re rebellious people.
