ABP - Ezekiel - 3

3:1  And he said to me, O son of man, eat what ever you should find! Eat this roll, and go and speak to the sons of Israel!

3:2  And he opened wide my mouth, and fed me this roll.

3:3  And he said to me, O son of man, your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled of this roll, of the one being given to you. And I ate it, and it became in my mouth as [2honey 1sweet].

3:4  And he said to me, O son of man, proceed and enter to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them!

3:5  For not as to a people of thick lips and speaking an unknown language are you sent to the house of Israel;

3:6  nor to [2peoples 1many] of foreign languages, or foreign tongues, nor [2dense 3in tongue 1being], whose [2you hear not 1words]. But if to such I sent you, these would have listened to you.

3:7  But the house of Israel in no way shall want to listen to you; for they do not consent to listen to me. For all the house of Israel is contentious and hard-hearted.

3:8  And behold, I have imputed your face mighty against their faces; and your victory shall prevail against their victory.

3:9  And it shall be always more strong than a rock. You should not fear from them, nor should you be terrified before their face; for [3house 2a rebellious 1it is].

3:10  And he said to me, O son of man, all the words which I have spoken with you, take into your heart, and [2with 3your ears 1hearken]!

3:11  And proceed, enter unto the captivity, to the sons of your people! And you shall speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the lord; Surely they shall hear, surely they shall give way.

3:12  And [2took me up 1spirit], and I heard from behind me a sound [2quake 1of a great], saying, Blessed be the glory of the lord from out of his place.

3:13  And I heard a sound of the wings of the living creatures flapping one to the other; and the sound of the wheels next to them, and the sound of the [2quake 1great].

3:14  And the spirit lifted me away, and took me; and I went elevated by impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the lord came [2upon 3me 1fortified].

3:15  And I entered to the captivity elevated; and I went around the ones dwelling by the river Chebar, the ones being there; and I stayed there seven days, behaving in the midst of them.

3:16  And it came to pass after the seven days, and [3came 1the word 2of the lord] to me, saying,

3:17  O son of man, [3watchman 1I have appointed 2you] to the house of Israel, and you shall hear [2from out of 3my mouth 1the word]; and you shall threaten them by me.

3:18  In my saying to the lawless one, To death you shall be put to death; and you do not give orders to him, nor spoke to give orders to the lawless one, to turn from [3ways 1his 2unjust], so that he should live; that lawless one [2in his iniquity 1shall die], and his blood [2from out of 3your hand 1I shall require].

3:19  And if you should give orders to the lawless one, and he should not turn from his lawlessness, nor [3way 1his 2unjust]; that lawless one [2in 3his iniquity 1shall die], and you [2your soul 1shall rescue].

3:20  And in the turning of a just man from his righteousness, and he should commit a transgression, and I give torment to his face, and he dies, but you did not give orders to him; then in his sins he dies, for in no way [2be remembered 1shall his righteousness] which he did, and his blood [2from out of 3your hand 1I shall require].

3:21  [3you 1But 2if] give orders to the just man to not sin, and he should not sin, the just man [2to life 1shall live], for you warned him, and you [2your own 3soul 1shall have rescued].

3:22  And [3came to pass 4there 5upon 6me 1the hand 2of the lord]. And he said to me, Rise up, and go forth into the plain! and there it shall be spoken to you.

3:23  And I rose up and went forth to the plain. And behold, there the glory of the lord stood as the glory which I beheld by the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

3:24  And [2came 3upon 4me 1spirit], and stood me upon my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Enter and be locked up in the midst of your house!

3:25  And you, O son of man, behold, [2were appointed 3for 4you 1bonds], and they shall tie you with them, and in no way shall you come forth from the midst of them.

3:26  And [2your tongue 1I shall tie] to your throat, and you shall become mute, and you will not be to them for a man reproving; for [3house 2a rebellious 1it is].

3:27  And in my speaking to you, I shall open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord the lord; The one hearing, let him hear! and the one resisting persuasion, let him resist persuasion! for [3house 2a rebellious 1it is]!
