NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Ezekiel 3

Ezekiel's Commission

1

Then He saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120, eath398 whath834 you findh4672;  aeath398 thish384 scrollh4039, and goh1980, speakh1696 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478."

2

So I  aopenedh6605a my mouthh6310, and He fedh398 me thish384 scrollh4039.

3

He saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120, feedh398 your stomachh990 and  afillh4390 your  1bodyh4578 with thish384 scrollh4039 whichh834 I am givingh5414 you." Then I  bateh398 it, and it was sweeth4966 as  choneyh1706 in my mouthh6310.

4

Then He saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120,  1goh1980h935 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and speakh1696 with My wordsh1697 to them.

5

"For  ayou are not being senth7971 to a peopleh5971a of  1 bunintelligibleh6012 speechh8193 or difficulth3515 languageh3956, but to the househ1004 of Israelh3478,

6

norh3808 to manyh7227a peoplesh5971a of  1unintelligibleh6012 speechh8193 or difficulth3515 languageh3956, whoseh834 wordsh1697 you cannoth3808 understandh8085.  2But I have senth7971 you to them  3who should listenh8085 to you;

7

yet the househ1004 of Israelh3478 will not be willingh14 to listenh8085 to you, sinceh3588 they are  anot willingh14 to listenh8085 to Me. Surelyh3588 the wholeh3605 househ1004 of Israelh3478 is  1stubbornh2389h4696 and obstinateh7186h3820.

8

"Beholdh2009, I have madeh5414 your faceh6440 as hardh2389 as their facesh6440 and your foreheadh4696 as hardh2389 as their foreheadsh4696.

9

"Like  1emeryh8068 harderh2389 thanh4480 flinth6864 I have madeh5414 your foreheadh4696. Do not be afraidh3372a of them or be dismayedh2865 beforeh4480h6440 them, thoughh3588 they are a rebellioush4805 househ1004."

10

Moreover, He saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120, takeh3947 into your hearth3824 allh3605 My  awordsh1697 whichh834 I will speakh1696 to you and listenh8085  1closelyh241.

11

1Goh1980 to the exilesh1473, to the sonsh1121 of your peopleh5971a, and speakh1696 to them and tellh559 them, whetherh518 they listenh8085 orh518  2not, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  3GODh3068.' "

12

Then the  aSpirith7307 liftedh5375 me up, and I heardh8085 a greath1419  brumblingh7494 soundh6963 behindh310 me, "Blessedh1288 be the gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068  1in His placeh4725."

13

And I heard the soundh6963 of the wingsh3671 of the livingh2421b beingsh2421b touchingh5401a oneh802 anotherh269 and the soundh6963 of the  awheelsh212 besideh5980 them, even a greath1419 rumblingh7494 soundh6963.

14

So the Spirith7307 liftedh5375 me up and tookh3947 me away; and I wenth1980 embitteredh4751 in the rageh2534 of my spirith7307, and  athe handh3027 of the LORDh3068 was strongh2389 on me.

15

Then I cameh935 to the exilesh1473 who livedh3427 besideh413 the riverh5104 Chebarh3529 at Tel-abibh8512, and I sath3427 thereh8033  asevenh7651 daysh3117 whereh8033 they were livingh3427, causingh8074 consternationh8074 amongh8432 them.

16

 aAt the endh7097a of sevenh7651 daysh3117 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

17

"Sonh1121 of manh120, I have appointedh5414 you a  awatchmanh6822 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478; whenever you hearh8085 a wordh1697 from My mouthh6310,  bwarnh2094b them from Me.

18

"When I sayh559 to the wickedh7563, `You will surelyh4191 dieh4191,' and you do not warnh2094b him or speakh1696 out to warnh2094b the wickedh7563 from his wickedh7563 wayh1870 that he may liveh2421a, that wickedh7563 manh7563 shall dieh4191 in his iniquityh5771, but his  abloodh1818 I will requireh1245 at your handh3027.

19

"Yet ifh3588 you have  awarnedh2094b the wickedh7563 and he does not turnh7725 from his wickednessh7562 or from his wickedh7563 wayh1870, he shall dieh4191 in his iniquityh5771; but you have  bdeliveredh5337 yourselfh5315.

20

"Again,  awhen a righteoush6662 manh6662 turnsh7725 awayh7725 from his righteousnessh6664 and commitsh6213a iniquityh5766, and I placeh5414 an  bobstacleh4383 beforeh6440 him, he will dieh4191; sinceh3588 you have not warnedh2094b him, he shall dieh4191 in his sinh2403b, and his righteoush6666 deedsh6666 whichh834 he has doneh6213a shall not be rememberedh2142; but his bloodh1818 I will requireh1245 at your handh3027.

21

"However, ifh3588 you have  awarnedh2094b  1the righteoush6662 manh6662 that the righteoush6662 should not sinh2398 and he does not sinh2398, he shall surelyh2421a liveh2421a becauseh3588 he tookh2094b warningh2094b; and you have deliveredh5337 yourselfh5315."

22

The handh3027 of the LORDh3068 was on me thereh8033, and He saidh559 to me, "Geth6965 up, goh3318 out to the plainh1237, and thereh8033 I will  aspeakh1696 to you."

23

So I goth6965 up and wenth3318 out to the plainh1237; and beholdh2009, the  agloryh3519b of the LORDh3068 was standingh5975 thereh8033, like the gloryh3519b whichh834  bI sawh7200 by the riverh5104 Chebarh3529, and I fellh5307 on my faceh6440.

24

The  aSpirith7307 then enteredh935 me and made me standh5975 on my feeth7272, and He spokeh1696 with me and saidh559 to me, "Goh935, shuth5462 yourself up in your househ1004.

25

"As for you, sonh1121 of manh120, they will  aputh5414 ropesh5688 on you and bindh631 you with them so that you cannoth3808 goh3318 out amongh8432 them.

26

"Moreover,  aI will make your tongueh3956 stickh1692 to  1the roofh2441 of your mouthh2441 so that you will be muteh481 and cannoth3808 be a manh376 who rebukesh3198 them, for they are a rebellioush4805 househ1004.

27

"But  awhen I speakh1696 to you, I will openh6605a your mouthh6310 and you will sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068.' He who hearsh8085, let him hearh8085; and he who refusesh2310, let him refuseh2308;  bfor they are a rebellioush4805 househ1004.
