Ezekiel 3

1 Ezekiel eateth the roll. 4 God encourageth him. 15 God sheweth him the rule of prophecy. 22 God shutteth and openeth the prophet's mouth.

 3:1 ¶ Moreover he said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Son 1121 of man, 120 eat 398 z8798 x853 that x834 thou findest; 4672 z8799 eat 398 z8798 this x2063 x853 roll, 4039 and go y3212 z8798 x1980 speak 1696 z8761 unto x413 the house 1004 of Israel. 3478

 3:2 So I opened 6605 z8799 x853 my mouth, 6310 and he caused me to eat 398 z8686 x853 that x2063 roll. 4039

 3:3 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Son 1121 of man, 120 cause thy belly 990 to eat, 398 z8686 and fill 4390 z8762 thy bowels 4578 with x854 this x2063 roll 4039 that x834 I x589 give 5414 z8802 x413 thee. Then did I eat 398 z8799 [it]; and it was x1961 in my mouth 6310 as honey 1706 for sweetness. 4966

 3:4 ¶ And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Son 1121 of man, 120 go, y3212 z8798 x1980 get 935 z8798 thee unto x413 the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 and speak 1696 z8765 with my words 1697 unto x413 them.

 3:5 For x3588 thou x859 [art] not x3808 sent 7971 z8803 to x413 a people 5971 of a strange 6012 speech 8193 and of an hard 3515 language, 3956 [but] to x413 the house 1004 of Israel; 3478

 3:6 Not x3808 to x413 many 7227 people 5971 of a strange 6012 speech 8193 and of an hard 3515 language, 3956 whose x834 words 1697 thou canst not x3808 understand. 8085 z8799 Surely, x518 x3808 had I sent 7971 z8804 thee to x413 them, they x1992 would have hearkened 8085 z8799 unto x413 thee.

 3:7 But the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will 14 z8799 not x3808 hearken 8085 z8800 unto x413 thee; for x3588 they will 14 z8802 not x369 hearken 8085 z8800 unto x413 me: for x3588 all x3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 [are] impudent 2389 4696 and hardhearted. 7186 3820

 3:8 Behold, x2009 I have made 5414 z8804 x853 thy face 6440 strong 2389 against 5980 their faces, 6440 and x853 thy forehead 4696 strong 2389 against 5980 their foreheads. 4696

 3:9 As an adamant 8068 harder 2389 than flint 6864 x4480 have I made 5414 z8804 thy forehead: 4696 fear 3372 z8799 them not, x3808 neither x3808 be dismayed 2865 z8735 at their looks, 6440 x4480 though x3588 they x1992 [be] a rebellious 4805 house. 1004

 3:10 Moreover he said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Son 1121 of man, 120 x853 all x3605 my words 1697 that x834 I shall speak 1696 z8762 unto x413 thee receive 3947 z8798 in thine heart, 3824 and hear 8085 z8798 with thine ears. 241

 3:11 And go, y3212 z8798 x1980 get 935 z8798 thee to x413 them of the captivity, 1473 unto x413 the children 1121 of thy people, 5971 and speak 1696 z8765 unto x413 them, and tell 559 z8804 x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 whether x518 they will hear, 8085 z8799 or whether x518 they will forbear. 2308 z8799

 3:12 Then the spirit 7307 took me up, 5375 z8799 and I heard 8085 z8799 behind 310 me a voice 6963 of a great 1419 rushing, 7494 [saying], Blessed 1288 z8803 [be] the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 from his place. 4725 x4480

 3:13 [I heard] also the noise 6963 of the wings 3671 of the living creatures 2416 that touched 5401 z8688 one 802 another, 269 and the noise 6963 of the wheels 212 over against 5980 them, and a noise 6963 of a great 1419 rushing. 7494

 3:14 So the spirit 7307 lifted me up, 5375 z8804 and took me away, 3947 z8799 and I went y3212 z8799 x1980 in bitterness, 4751 in the heat 2534 of my spirit; 7307 but the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was strong y2388 z8804 x2389 upon x5921 me.

 3:15 ¶ Then I came 935 z8799 to x413 them of the captivity 1473 at Telabib, 8512 that dwelt 3427 z8802 by x413 the river 5104 of Chebar, 3529 and I sat 3427 z8799 where x8033 they x1992 sat, 3427 z8799 and remained 3427 z8799 there x8033 astonished 8074 z8688 among 8432 them seven 7651 days. 3117

 3:16 And it came to pass x1961 at the end 7097 x4480 of seven 7651 days, 3117 that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 3:17 Son 1121 of man, 120 I have made 5414 z8804 thee a watchman 6822 z8802 unto the house 1004 of Israel: 3478 therefore hear 8085 z8804 the word 1697 at my mouth, 6310 x4480 and give them warning 2094 z8689 x853 from x4480 me.

 3:18 When I say 559 z8800 unto the wicked, 7563 Thou shalt surely y4191 z8800 die; 4191 z8799 and thou givest him not warning, 2094 z8689 x3808 nor x3808 speakest 1696 z8765 to warn 2094 z8687 the wicked 7563 from his wicked 7563 way, 1870 x4480 to save his life; 2421 z8763 the same x1931 wicked 7563 [man] shall die 4191 z8799 in his iniquity; 5771 but his blood 1818 will I require 1245 z8762 at thine hand. 3027 x4480

 3:19 Yet if x3588 thou x859 warn 2094 z8689 the wicked, 7563 and he turn 7725 z8804 not x3808 from his wickedness, 7562 x4480 nor from his wicked 7563 way, 1870 x4480 he x1931 shall die 4191 z8799 in his iniquity; 5771 but thou x859 hast delivered 5337 z8689 x853 thy soul. 5315

 3:20 Again, y7725 z0 When a righteous 6662 [man] doth turn 7725 z8800 from his righteousness, 6664 x4480 and commit 6213 z8804 iniquity, 5766 and I lay 5414 z8804 a stumblingblock 4383 before 6440 him, he x1931 shall die: 4191 z8799 because x3588 thou hast not x3808 given him warning, 2094 z8689 he shall die 4191 z8799 in his sin, 2403 and his righteousness 6666 which x834 he hath done 6213 z8804 shall not x3808 be remembered; 2142 z8735 but his blood 1818 will I require 1245 z8762 at thine hand. 3027 x4480

 3:21 Nevertheless if x3588 thou x859 warn 2094 z8689 the righteous 6662 [man], that the righteous 6662 sin 2398 z8800 not, x1115 and he x1931 doth not x3808 sin, 2398 z8804 he shall surely y2421 z8800 live, 2421 z8799 because x3588 he is warned; 2094 z8737 also thou x859 hast delivered 5337 z8689 x853 thy soul. 5315

 3:22 ¶ And the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was x1961 there x8033 upon x5921 me; and he said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Arise, 6965 z8798 go forth 3318 z8798 into x413 the plain, 1237 and I will there x8033 talk 1696 z8762 with x854 thee.

 3:23 Then I arose, 6965 z8799 and went forth 3318 z8799 into x413 the plain: 1237 and, behold, x2009 the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 stood 5975 z8802 there, x8033 as the glory 3519 which x834 I saw 7200 z8804 by x5921 the river 5104 of Chebar: 3529 and I fell 5307 z8799 on x5921 my face. 6440

 3:24 Then the spirit 7307 entered 935 z8799 into me, and set 5975 z8686 me upon x5921 my feet, 7272 and spake 1696 z8762 with x854 me, and said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Go, 935 z8798 shut y5462 z8734 thyself x5462 within 8432 thine house. 1004

 3:25 But thou, x859 O son 1121 of man, 120 behold, x2009 they shall put 5414 z8804 bands 5688 upon x5921 thee, and shall bind 631 z8804 thee with them, and thou shalt not x3808 go out 3318 z8799 among 8432 them:

 3:26 And I will make thy tongue 3956 cleave 1692 z8686 to x413 the roof of thy mouth, 2441 that thou shalt be dumb, 481 z8738 and shalt not x3808 be x1961 to them a reprover: 376 3198 z8688 for x3588 they x1992 [are] a rebellious 4805 house. 1004

 3:27 But when I speak 1696 z8763 with 854 thee, I will open 6605 z8799 x853 thy mouth, 6310 and thou shalt say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 He that heareth, 8085 z8802 let him hear; 8085 z8799 and he that forbeareth, 2310 let him forbear: 2308 z8799 for x3588 they x1992 [are] a rebellious 4805 house. 1004
