Book of Ezekiel_Chapter 3
He said to me, Son of man, I will eat what you have obtained, I will eat this scroll, so that I may go and speak to the house of Israel.
So I spoke up, and he made me eat this scroll,
And he said to me, Son of man, eat this book that I have given you, and fill your belly with it. I ate it and felt it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
He said to me, Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.
You were not sent to the people who speak proficiently and have difficulty understanding words, but to the house of Israel.
It’s not about going to many countries where words are profound and difficult to understand, their words are something you don’t understand. If I send you to them, they will obey you.
But the house of Israel refused to listen to you, because they refused to listen to me. The whole family of Israel were determined and determined.
Look, I have made your face harder than theirs, and your forehead harder than theirs.
I make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Although they are a rebellious family, do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed by their faces.
And he said to me, Son of man, understand in your heart all that I say to you, and hear in your ears.
Go to the people of your own country who have been taken captive, whether they hear or not, speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord Jehovah has said.
At that time, the spirit lifted me up, and I heard a shaking and roaring sound behind me, saying, Blessed be the glory that is revealed from the place of the Lord.
I heard the wings of the living creature collide again, and the sound of the wheels rotating, vibrating, and roaring beside the living creature.
So the spirit lifted me up and took me away. My heart is bitter, my spirit is fiery, and the hand of the Lord is strong in me.
I came to Tirabi and stayed with the exiles by the river Gebaru, and sat among them for seven days in sorrow and sorrow.
After seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, so listen to the words of my mouth and warn them on my behalf.
When will I point to the wicked and say, ‘He will surely die.’. If you do not warn him or admonish him, so that he may turn away from his evil deeds and save his life, this wicked person will die in iniquity. But I will demand his death from you.
If you warn the wicked, and they do not turn away from their sins or evil deeds, they will die in their sins, but you have saved yourself from sin.
Moreover, when a righteous person breaks away from righteousness and commits a crime, I will put a stumbling block in front of him, and he will surely die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in sin, and his righteousness will not be remembered. But I will demand his death from you.
If you warn the righteous that they will not sin, then they will not sin. He will live by being warned, and you have saved yourself from sin.
The hand of the Lord descended on me there. He said to me, Get up and go to the plain, where I will speak to you.
So I got up and went to the plain, only to find that the glory of the Lord was as I had seen by the river Gebaru, standing there, and I fell to the ground.
The spirit entered me and made me stand up. The Lord said to me, Go into the house and close the door.
Son of man, men will bind you with ropes, and you will not be able to go out and come between them.
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so that you will be mute and unable to be a rebuke to them. They were originally a rebellious family.
But when I speak to you, I will make you speak, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD. Those who listen can listen, and those who don’t listen can be ignored, because they are a rebellious family.
