| [1]Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest: eat this roll, and go, and speak unto the house of Israel. |
[1]MOREOVER he said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and go speak to the house of Israel. |
| [2]So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this roll to eat. |
[2]So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that scroll. |
| [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 sweet as honey. |
[3]And he said to me, Son of man, fill your belly with this scroll that I give you. Then I ate it and it was in my mouth sweet as honey. |
| [4]And he said unto me, Son of man, go, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my words. |
[4]And he said to me, Son of man, go to them of the captivity, to the children of Israel, and speak my words to them. |
| [5]For thou art not sent to a people of an unknown tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel, |
[5]For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel; |
| [6]Not to many people of an unknown tongue, or of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand: yet if I should send thee to them, they would obey thee. |
[6]Nor to many peoples whose speech you do not understand. Surely, if I send you to them, they would listen to you. |
| [7]But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiff hearted. |
[7]But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not hearken to me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and stubborn of heart. |
| [8]Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads. |
[8]Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads. |
| [9]I have made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder than the flint: fear them not therefore, neither be afraid at their looks: for they are a rebellious house. |
[9]As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. |
| [10]He said moreover unto me, Son of man, receive in thine heart all my words that I speak unto thee, and hear them with thine ears, |
[10]Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart and hear with your ears. |
| [11]And go and enter to them that are led away captives unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God: but surely they will not hear, neither will they indeed cease. |
[11]And go and get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, Thus says the LORD God; perhaps they will listen, and tremble. |
| [12]Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a noise of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord out of his place. |
[12]Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. |
| [13]I heard also the noise of the wings of the beasts, that touched one another, and the rattling of the wheels that were by them, even a noise of a great rushing. |
[13]I heard also the sound of the wings of the living creatures touching one another and the sound of the wheels beside them and a noise of a great rushing. |
| [14]So the spirit lift me up, and took me away and I went in bitterness, and indignation of my spirit, but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. |
[14]So the spirit lifted me up, and carried me away, and I went in the strength of my spirit; and the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. |
| [15]Then I came to them that were led away captives to Tel-Abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. |
[15]Then I came to the exiles at Tel-akib, who dwelt by the river Chebar, and I stayed there astonished among them seven days |
| [16]And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, |
[16]And it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came upon me, saying. |
| [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. |
[17]Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the words of my mouth and give them warning from me. |
| [18]When I shall say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou givest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may live, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity: but his blood will I require at thine hand. |
[18]When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; but you have not warned him, nor have you spoken to warn the sinner from his wicked way, to save his life; the same sinner shall die in his iniquity; and his blood will I require at your hand. |
| [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. |
[19]But if you warn the sinner, and he turn not from his sin nor from his evil way, he shall die in his sins; but you have delivered your soul. |
| [20]Likewise if a righteous man turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a stumbling block before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds, which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but his blood will I require at thine hand. |
[20]Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, I will lay a stumbling block before him, and he shall die; because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sins and his righteousness which he had done shall not be remembered; and his blood will I require at your hand. |
| [21]Nevertheless, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and that he doth not sin, he shall live because he is admonished: also thou hast delivered thy soul. |
[21]Nevertheless, if you warn the righteous man, that he may not sin, and he does not sin, the righteous man shall surely live, because he is warned; and you have delivered your soul |
| [22]And the hand of the Lord was there upon me, and he said unto me, Arise, and go into the field, and I will there talk with thee. |
[22]And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will talk to you there. |
| [23]So when I had risen up, and gone forth into the field, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell down upon my face. |
[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 Chebar; and I fell on my face. |
| [24]Then the spirit entered into me, which set me up upon my feet, and spake unto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thyself within thine house. |
[24]Then the spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me and said to me, Go, shut yourself in your house. |
| [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. |
[25]And you, O Son of man, behold, they shall put chains upon you, and shall bind you with them, that you cannot go out among them. |
| [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 as a man that rebuketh: for they are a rebellious house. |
[26]And I will make your tongue cleave to your palate, and you shall be dumb and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house. |
| [27]But when I shall have spoken unto 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 leaveth off, let him leave: for they are a rebellious house. |
[27]But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD God: He that hears, let him hear; and he that trembles, let him tremble; for they are a rebellious house |
