MOREOVER he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021336">2</a>. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021337">3</a>. And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.  Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021338">4</a>. And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021339">5</a>. For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021340">6</a>. Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand.  Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021341">7</a>. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021342">8</a>. Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021343">9</a>. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021344">10</a>. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021345">11</a>. And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021346">12</a>. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021347">13</a>. I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021348">14</a>. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021349">15</a>. Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021350">16</a>. And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021351">17</a>. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021352">18</a>. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021353">19</a>. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021354">20</a>. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021355">21</a>. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021356">22</a>. And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021357">23</a>. Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021358">24</a>. Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021359">25</a>. But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021360">26</a>. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021361">27</a>. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.</li>
