[1] He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” [2] So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll. [3] He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.”Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. [4] He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them. [5] For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel— [6] not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you. [7] But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate§ and hard-hearted. [8] Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads. [9] I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.” [10] Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you. [11] Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.” [12] Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be Yahweh’s glory from his place.” [13] I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing. [14] So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and Yahweh’s hand was strong on me. [15] Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days. [16] At the end of seven days, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [17] “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me. [18] When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand. [19] Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” [20] “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand. [21] Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.” [22] Yahweh’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.” [23] Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, Yahweh’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face. [24] Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house. [25] But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them. [26] I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious house. [27] But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

[1] Moreover he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 eatH398(QalImpv) that thou findest;H4672(QalImpf) eatH398(QalImpv) this roll,H4039 and goH3212(QalImpv) speakH1696(PielImpv) unto the houseH1004 of Israel.H3478 [2] So I openedH6605(QalImpf) my mouth,H6310 and he caused me to eatH398(HiphImpf) that roll.H4039 [3] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 cause thy bellyH990 to eat,H398(HiphImpf) and fillH4390(PielImpf) thy bowelsH4578 with this rollH4039 that I giveH5414(QalActPtc) thee. Then did I eatH398(QalImpf) [it]; and it was in my mouthH6310 as honeyH1706 for sweetness.H4966 [4] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 go,H3212(QalImpv) getH935(QalImpv) thee unto the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 and speakH1696(PielPerf) with my wordsH1697 unto them. [5] For thou [art] not sentH7971(QalPasPtc) to a peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 language,H3956 [but] to the houseH1004 of Israel;H3478 [6] Not to manyH7227 peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 language,H3956 whose wordsH1697 thou canst not understand.H8085(QalImpf) Surely, had I sentH7971(QalPerf) thee to them, they would have hearkenedH8085(QalImpf) unto thee. [7] But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14(QalImpf) not hearkenH8085(QalInf) unto thee; for they willH14(QalActPtc) not hearkenH8085(QalInf) unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 [are] impudentH2389 and hardhearted.H7186 [8] Behold, I have madeH5414(QalPerf) thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their faces,H6440 and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheads.H4696 [9] As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414(QalPerf) thy forehead:H4696 fearH3372(QalImpf) them not, neither be dismayedH2865(NiphImpf) at their looks,H6440 though they [be] a rebelliousH4805 house.H1004 [10] Moreover he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 all my wordsH1697 that I shall speakH1696(PielImpf) unto thee receiveH3947(QalImpv) in thine heart,H3824 and hearH8085(QalImpv) with thine ears.H241 [11] And go,H3212(QalImpv) getH935(QalImpv) thee to them of the captivity,H1473 unto the childrenH1121 of thy people,H5971 and speakH1696(PielPerf) unto them, and tellH559(QalPerf) them, Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 whether they will hear,H8085(QalImpf) or whether they will forbear.H2308(QalImpf) [12] Then the spiritH7307 took me up,H5375(QalImpf) and I heardH8085(QalImpf) behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushing,H7494 [saying], BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be] the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 from his place.H4725 [13] [I heard] also the noiseH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the living creaturesH2416 that touchedH5401(HiphPtc) oneH802 another,H269 and the noiseH6963 of the wheelsH212 over againstH5980 them, and a noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 rushing.H7494 [14] So the spiritH7307 lifted me up,H5375(QalPerf) and took me away,H3947(QalImpf) and I wentH3212(QalImpf) in bitterness,H4751 in the heatH2534 of my spirit;H7307 but the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was strongH2388(QalPerf) upon me. [15] Then I cameH935(QalImpf) to them of the captivityH1473 at Telabib,H8512 that dweltH3427(QalActPtc) by the riverH5104 of Chebar,H3529 and I satH3427(QalImpf) where they sat,H3427(QalImpf) and remainedH3427(QalImpf) there astonishedH8074(HiphPtc) amongH8432 them sevenH7651 days.H3117 [16] And it came to pass at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 days,H3117 that the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto me, saying,H559(QalInf) [17] SonH1121 of man,H120 I have madeH5414(QalPerf) thee a watchmanH6822(QalActPtc) unto the houseH1004 of Israel:H3478 therefore hearH8085(QalPerf) the wordH1697 at my mouth,H6310 and give them warningH2094(HiphPerf) from me. [18] When I sayH559(QalInf) unto the wicked,H7563 Thou shalt surelyH4191(QalInf) die;H4191(QalImpf) and thou givest him not warning,H2094(HiphPerf) nor speakestH1696(PielPerf) to warnH2094(HiphInf) the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 way,H1870 to save his life;H2421(PielInf) the same wickedH7563 [man] shall dieH4191(QalImpf) in his iniquity;H5771 but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245(PielImpf) at thine hand.H3027 [19] Yet if thou warnH2094(HiphPerf) the wicked,H7563 and he turnH7725(QalPerf) not from his wickedness,H7562 nor from his wickedH7563 way,H1870 he shall dieH4191(QalImpf) in his iniquity;H5771 but thou hast deliveredH5337(HiphPerf) thy soul.H5315 [20] Again,H7725 When a righteousH6662 [man] doth turnH7725(QalInf) from his righteousness,H6664 and commitH6213(QalPerf) iniquity,H5766 and I layH5414(QalPerf) a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall die:H4191(QalImpf) because thou hast not given him warning,H2094(HiphPerf) he shall dieH4191(QalImpf) in his sin,H2403 and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213(QalPerf) shall not be remembered;H2142(NiphImpf) but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245(PielImpf) at thine hand.H3027 [21] Nevertheless if thou warnH2094(HiphPerf) the righteousH6662 [man], that the righteousH6662 sinH2398(QalInf) not, and he doth not sin,H2398(QalPerf) he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live,H2421(QalImpf) because he is warned;H2094(NiphPtc) also thou hast deliveredH5337(HiphPerf) thy soul.H5315 [22] And the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was there upon me; and he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, Arise,H6965(QalImpv) go forthH3318(QalImpv) into the plain,H1237 and I will there talkH1696(PielImpf) with thee. [23] Then I arose,H6965(QalImpf) and went forthH3318(QalImpf) into the plain:H1237 and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 stoodH5975(QalActPtc) there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200(QalPerf) by the riverH5104 of Chebar:H3529 and I fellH5307(QalImpf) on my face.H6440 [24] Then the spiritH7307 enteredH935(QalImpf) into me, and setH5975(HiphImpf) me upon my feet,H7272 and spakeH1696(PielImpf) with me, and saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, Go,H935(QalImpv) shutH5462(NiphImpv) thyself withinH8432 thine house.H1004 [25] But thou, O sonH1121 of man,H120 behold, they shall putH5414(QalPerf) bandsH5688 upon thee, and shall bindH631(QalPerf) thee with them, and thou shalt not go outH3318(QalImpf) amongH8432 them: [26] And I will make thy tongueH3956 cleaveH1692(HiphImpf) to the roof of thy mouth,H2441 that thou shalt be dumb,H481(NiphPerf) and shalt not be to them a reprover:H376 for they [are] a rebelliousH4805 house.H1004 [27] But when I speakH1696(PielInf) withH854 thee, I will openH6605(QalImpf) thy mouth,H6310 and thou shalt sayH559(QalPerf) unto them, Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 He that heareth,H8085(QalActPtc) let him hear;H8085(QalImpf) and he that forbeareth,H2310 let him forbear:H2308(QalImpf) for they [are] a rebelliousH4805 house.H1004
