3:1 | Moreover he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, eat <0398> (8798) that thou findest <04672> (8799); eat <0398> (8798) this roll <04039>, and go <03212> (8798) speak <01696> (8761) unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>. |
3:2 | So I opened <06605> (8799) my mouth <06310>, and he caused me to eat <0398> (8686) that roll <04039>. |
3:3 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, cause thy belly <0990> to eat <0398> (8686), and fill <04390> (8762) thy bowels <04578> with this roll <04039> that I give <05414> (8802) thee. Then did I eat <0398> (8799) [it]; and it was in my mouth <06310> as honey <01706> for sweetness <04966>. |
3:4 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, go <03212> (8798), get <0935> (8798) thee unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and speak <01696> (8765) with my words <01697> unto them. |
3:5 | For thou [art] not sent <07971> (8803) to a people <05971> of a strange <06012> speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language <03956>, [but] to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; {of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue} |
3:6 | Not to many <07227> people <05971> of a strange <06012> speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language <03956>, whose words <01697> thou canst not understand <08085> (8799). Surely, had I sent <07971> (8804) thee to them, they would have hearkened <08085> (8799) unto thee. {of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely...: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?} |
3:7 | But the house <01004> of Israel <03478> will <014> (8799) not hearken <08085> (8800) unto thee; for they will <014> (8802) not hearken <08085> (8800) unto me: for all the house <01004> of Israel <03478> [are] impudent <02389> <04696> and hardhearted <07186> <03820>. {impudent...: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart} |
3:8 | Behold, I have made <05414> (8804) thy face <06440> strong <02389> against <05980> their faces <06440>, and thy forehead <04696> strong <02389> against <05980> their foreheads <04696>. |
3:9 | As an adamant <08068> harder <02389> than flint <06864> have I made <05414> (8804) thy forehead <04696>: fear <03372> (8799) them not, neither be dismayed <02865> (8735) at their looks <06440>, though they [be] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>. |
3:10 | Moreover he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, all my words <01697> that I shall speak <01696> (8762) unto thee receive <03947> (8798) in thine heart <03824>, and hear <08085> (8798) with thine ears <0241>. |
3:11 | And go <03212> (8798), get <0935> (8798) thee to them of the captivity <01473>, unto the children <01121> of thy people <05971>, and speak <01696> (8765) unto them, and tell <0559> (8804) them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; whether they will hear <08085> (8799), or whether they will forbear <02308> (8799). |
3:12 | Then the spirit <07307> took me up <05375> (8799), and I heard <08085> (8799) behind <0310> me a voice <06963> of a great <01419> rushing <07494>, [saying], Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> from his place <04725>. |
3:13 | [I heard] also the noise <06963> of the wings <03671> of the living creatures <02416> that touched <05401> (8688) one <0802> another <0269>, and the noise <06963> of the wheels <0212> over against <05980> them, and a noise <06963> of a great <01419> rushing <07494>. {touched: Heb. kissed} |
3:14 | So the spirit <07307> lifted me up <05375> (8804), and took me away <03947> (8799), and I went <03212> (8799) in bitterness <04751>, in the heat <02534> of my spirit <07307>; but the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was strong <02388> (8804) upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger} |
3:15 | Then I came <0935> (8799) to them of the captivity <01473> at Telabib <08512>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, and I sat <03427> (8799) where they sat <03427> (8799), and remained <03427> (8799) there astonished <08074> (8688) among <08432> them seven <07651> days <03117>. |
3:16 | And it came to pass at the end <07097> of seven <07651> days <03117>, that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800), |
3:17 | Son <01121> of man <0120>, I have made <05414> (8804) thee a watchman <06822> (8802) unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: therefore hear <08085> (8804) the word <01697> at my mouth <06310>, and give them warning <02094> (8689) from me. |
3:18 | When I say <0559> (8800) unto the wicked <07563>, Thou shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799); and thou givest him not warning <02094> (8689), nor speakest <01696> (8765) to warn <02094> (8687) the wicked <07563> from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, to save his life <02421> (8763); the same wicked <07563> [man] shall die <04191> (8799) in his iniquity <05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> (8762) at thine hand <03027>. |
3:19 | Yet if thou warn <02094> (8689) the wicked <07563>, and he turn <07725> (8804) not from his wickedness <07562>, nor from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, he shall die <04191> (8799) in his iniquity <05771>; but thou hast delivered <05337> (8689) thy soul <05315>. |
3:20 | Again <07725> (0), When a righteous <06662> [man] doth turn <07725> (8800) from his righteousness <06664>, and commit <06213> (8804) iniquity <05766>, and I lay <05414> (8804) a stumblingblock <04383> before <06440> him, he shall die <04191> (8799): because thou hast not given him warning <02094> (8689), he shall die <04191> (8799) in his sin <02403>, and his righteousness <06666> which he hath done <06213> (8804) shall not be remembered <02142> (8735); but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> (8762) at thine hand <03027>. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses} |
3:21 | Nevertheless if thou warn <02094> (8689) the righteous <06662> [man], that the righteous <06662> sin <02398> (8800) not, and he doth not sin <02398> (8804), he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799), because he is warned <02094> (8737); also thou hast delivered <05337> (8689) thy soul <05315>. |
3:22 | And the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was there upon me; and he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Arise <06965> (8798), go forth <03318> (8798) into the plain <01237>, and I will there talk <01696> (8762) with thee. |
3:23 | Then I arose <06965> (8799), and went forth <03318> (8799) into the plain <01237>: and, behold, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> (8802) there, as the glory <03519> which I saw <07200> (8804) by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>: and I fell <05307> (8799) on my face <06440>. |
3:24 | Then the spirit <07307> entered <0935> (8799) into me, and set <05975> (8686) me upon my feet <07272>, and spake <01696> (8762) with me, and said <0559> (8799) unto me, Go <0935> (8798), shut <05462> (8734) thyself within <08432> thine house <01004>. |
3:25 | But thou, O son <01121> of man <0120>, behold, they shall put <05414> (8804) bands <05688> upon thee, and shall bind <0631> (8804) thee with them, and thou shalt not go out <03318> (8799) among <08432> them: |
3:26 | And I will make thy tongue <03956> cleave <01692> (8686) to the roof of thy mouth <02441>, that thou shalt be dumb <0481> (8738), and shalt not be to them a reprover <0376> <03198> (8688): for they [are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>. {a reprover: Heb. a man reproving} |
3:27 | But when I speak <01696> (8763) with <0854> thee, I will open <06605> (8799) thy mouth <06310>, and thou shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; He that heareth <08085> (8802), let him hear <08085> (8799); and he that forbeareth <02310>, let him forbear <02308> (8799): for they [are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>. |
