[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.”

King James Version
[1] Moreover he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 eat H398 (QalImpv) that thou findest; H4672 (QalImpf) eat H398 (QalImpv) this roll, H4039 and go H3212 (QalImpv) speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the house H1004 of Israel. H3478 [2] So I opened H6605 (QalImpf) my mouth, H6310 and he caused me to eat H398 (HiphImpf) that roll. H4039 [3] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 cause thy belly H990 to eat, H398 (HiphImpf) and fill H4390 (PielImpf) thy bowels H4578 with this roll H4039 that I give H5414 (QalActPtc) thee. Then did I eat H398 (QalImpf) it; and it was in my mouth H6310 as honey H1706 for sweetness. H4966 [4] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 go, H3212 (QalImpv) get H935 (QalImpv) thee unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 and speak H1696 (PielPerf) with my words H1697 unto them. [5] For thou art not sent H7971 (QalPasPtc) to a people H5971 of a strange H6012 speech H8193 and of an hard H3515 language, H3956 but to the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 [6] not to many H7227 people H5971 of a strange H6012 speech H8193 and of an hard H3515 language, H3956§ whose words H1697 thou canst not understand. H8085 (QalImpf) Surely, had I sent H7971 (QalPerf) thee to them, they would have hearkened H8085 (QalImpf) unto thee. [7] But the house H1004 of Israel H3478 will H14 (QalImpf) not hearken H8085 (QalInf) unto thee; for they will H14 (QalActPtc) not hearken H8085 (QalInf) unto me: for all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 are impudent H2389 and hardhearted. H7186 [8] Behold, I have made H5414 (QalPerf) thy face H6440 strong H2389 against H5980 their faces, H6440 and thy forehead H4696 strong H2389 against H5980 their foreheads. H4696 [9] As an adamant H8068 harder H2389 than flint H6864 have I made H5414 (QalPerf) thy forehead: H4696 fear H3372 (QalImpf) them not, neither be dismayed H2865 (NiphImpf) at their looks, H6440 though they be a rebellious H4805 house. H1004 [10] Moreover he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 all my words H1697 that I shall speak H1696 (PielImpf) unto thee receive H3947 (QalImpv) in thine heart, H3824 and hear H8085 (QalImpv) with thine ears. H241 [11] And go, H3212 (QalImpv) get H935 (QalImpv) thee to them of the captivity, H1473 unto the children H1121 of thy people, H5971 and speak H1696 (PielPerf) unto them, and tell H559 (QalPerf) them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 whether they will hear, H8085 (QalImpf) or whether they will forbear. H2308 (QalImpf) [12] Then the spirit H7307 took me up, H5375 (QalImpf) and I heard H8085 (QalImpf) behind H310 me a voice H6963 of a great H1419 rushing, H7494 saying, Blessed H1288 (QalPasPtc) be the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 from his place. H4725 [13] I heard also the noise H6963 of the wings H3671 of the living creatures H2416 that touched H5401 (HiphPtc)§ one H802 another, H269 and the noise H6963 of the wheels H212 over against H5980 them, and a noise H6963 of a great H1419 rushing. H7494 [14] So the spirit H7307 lifted me up, H5375 (QalPerf) and took me away, H3947 (QalImpf) and I went H3212 (QalImpf) in bitterness, H4751§ in the heat H2534 of my spirit; H7307§ but the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was strong H2388 (QalPerf) upon me. [15] Then I came H935 (QalImpf) to them of the captivity H1473 at Tel-abib, H8512 that dwelt H3427 (QalActPtc) by the river H5104 of Chebar, H3529 and I sat H3427 (QalImpf) where they sat, H3427 (QalImpf) and remained H3427 (QalImpf) there astonished H8074 (HiphPtc) among H8432 them seven H7651 days. H3117

His Mission

[16] And it came to pass at the end H7097 of seven H7651 days, H3117 that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [17] Son H1121 of man, H120 I have made H5414 (QalPerf) thee a watchman H6822 (QalActPtc) unto the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 therefore hear H8085 (QalPerf) the word H1697 at my mouth, H6310 and give them warning H2094 (HiphPerf) from me. [18] When I say H559 (QalInf) unto the wicked, H7563 Thou shalt surely H4191 (QalInf) die; H4191 (QalImpf) and thou givest him not warning, H2094 (HiphPerf) nor speakest H1696 (PielPerf) to warn H2094 (HiphInf) the wicked H7563 from his wicked H7563 way, H1870 to save his life; H2421 (PielInf) the same wicked H7563 man shall die H4191 (QalImpf) in his iniquity; H5771 but his blood H1818 will I require H1245 (PielImpf) at thine hand. H3027 [19] Yet if thou warn H2094 (HiphPerf) the wicked, H7563 and he turn H7725 (QalPerf) not from his wickedness, H7562 nor from his wicked H7563 way, H1870 he shall die H4191 (QalImpf) in his iniquity; H5771 but thou hast delivered H5337 (HiphPerf) thy soul. H5315 [20] Again, H7725 When a righteous H6662 man doth turn H7725 (QalInf) from his righteousness, H6664§ and commit H6213 (QalPerf) iniquity, H5766 and I lay H5414 (QalPerf) a stumblingblock H4383 before H6440 him, he shall die: H4191 (QalImpf) because thou hast not given him warning, H2094 (HiphPerf) he shall die H4191 (QalImpf) in his sin, H2403 and his righteousness H6666 which he hath done H6213 (QalPerf) shall not be remembered; H2142 (NiphImpf) but his blood H1818 will I require H1245 (PielImpf) at thine hand. H3027 [21] Nevertheless if thou warn H2094 (HiphPerf) the righteous H6662 man, that the righteous H6662 sin H2398 (QalInf) not, and he doth not sin, H2398 (QalPerf) he shall surely H2421 (QalInf) live, H2421 (QalImpf) because he is warned; H2094 (NiphPtc) also thou hast delivered H5337 (HiphPerf) thy soul. H5315 [22] And the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was there upon me; and he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) go forth H3318 (QalImpv) into the plain, H1237 and I will there talk H1696 (PielImpf) with thee. [23] Then I arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and went forth H3318 (QalImpf) into the plain: H1237 and, behold, the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 stood H5975 (QalActPtc) there, as the glory H3519 which I saw H7200 (QalPerf) by the river H5104 of Chebar: H3529 and I fell H5307 (QalImpf) on my face. H6440 [24] Then the spirit H7307 entered H935 (QalImpf) into me, and set H5975 (HiphImpf) me upon my feet, H7272 and spake H1696 (PielImpf) with me, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Go, H935 (QalImpv) shut H5462 (NiphImpv) thyself within H8432 thine house. H1004 [25] But thou, O son H1121 of man, H120 behold, they shall put H5414 (QalPerf) bands H5688 upon thee, and shall bind H631 (QalPerf) thee with them, and thou shalt not go out H3318 (QalImpf) among H8432 them: [26] and I will make thy tongue H3956 cleave H1692 (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 rebellious H4805 house. H1004 [27] But when I speak H1696 (PielInf) with H854 thee, I will open H6605 (QalImpf) thy mouth, H6310 and thou shalt say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 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 rebellious H4805 house.
