## Ezekiel 3:1-27 in Context (Verses 1–27 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/1) Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/2) So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/3) 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.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/4) ¶ And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/5) For thou *art* not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, *but* to the house of Israel;*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/6) 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.**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/7) 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.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/8) Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/9) 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.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/10) 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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/11) 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/13) *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.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/14) 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.**
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/15) ¶ 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/16) And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/17) 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/19) 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/20) 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.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/21) 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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/22) ¶ 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.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/23) 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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/24) 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.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/25) 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:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/26) 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.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/ezekiel/3/27) 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.
