Ezekiel 3:14-27

Rotherham(i) 14 So, the Spirit, lifted me up, and took me away,––and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but, the hand of Yahweh upon me, was, strong. 15 Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel–abib, who were dwelling towards he river Chebar, and I dwelt where, they, were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst.
16 And it came to pass, at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying: 17 Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel,––and thou shalt hear, at my mouth, a message, and shalt warn them, from me. 18 When I say to the lawless man––Thou shalt, surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless, way, to save himself alive, the same lawless man, in his iniquity, shall die, but, his blood, at thy hand, will I require. 19 Whereas, when, thou, hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness, and from his lawless way, he, in his iniquity, shall die, but, thou, hast delivered, thine own soul. 20 And, when a righteous man hath turned, from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling–block to be laid before him, he, shall die,––though thou hast not warned him, in his sin, shall he die, neither shall be remembered, his righteous deeds which he hath done, but, his blood, at thy hand, will I require; 21 whereas, when, thou, hast warned a righteous man, That a righteous man, must not sin, and, he, hath not sinned, he shall, surely live, in that he took warning, and, thou, hast delivered, thine own soul.
22 Then came upon me, there, the hand of Yahweh,––and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and, there, will I speak with thee. 23 So I arose, and went forth into the valley, and lo! there, the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw, by the river Chebar,––and I fell upon my face. 24 Then the Spirit, entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet,––and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go in, shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house. 25 And, thou––O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith,––so that thou go not forth in their midst; 26 thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb, and not be to them a reprover,––For, a perverse house, they are! 27 But, when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh,––He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And, he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For, a perverse house, they are!
