Ezekiel 3:1-13 ▼

1 And he will say to me, Son of man, eat what thou shalt find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.

2 And I shall open my mouth, and he will cause me to eat this roll.

3 And he will say to me, Son of man, thou shalt cause thy belly to eat, and thou shalt fill thy bowels with this roll which I give to thee. And eating it, it will be in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

4 And he will say to me, Son of man, go; come to the house of Israel and speak my word to them.

5 For not to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue; thou art sent to the house of Israel;

6 Not to many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue which thou wilt not hear their words If to them I sent thee, they will hear to thee.

7 And the house of Israel will not hear to thee; for they are not willing to hear to me: for all the house of Israel are strong of forehead, and they are hard of heart.

8 Behold, I gave thy face strong over against their face, and thy forehead strong over against their forehead.

9 As the diamond strong above the rock I gave thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, and thou shalt not be terrified from their face, for they are a house of contradiction.

10 And he will say to me, Son of man, all my words which I shall speak to thee take into thy heart, and with thine ears hear thou.

11 And go, come to the captivity, to the sons of my people, and speak to them, and say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah; if they will hear, and if they will desist.

12 And the spirit will lift me up, and I shall hear behind me a voice of a great shaking: Praised be the glory of Jehovah from his place.

13 And the voice of the wings of the living creatures, kissing one to the other, and the voice of the wheels over against them, and the voice of a great shaking.
