A Studying from Ezekiel 3:16-27
16 On the finish of seven days, the phrase of the Lord got here to me: 17 Mortal, I’ve made you a sentinel for the home of Israel; everytime you hear a phrase from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 18 After I say to the depraved, “You shall absolutely die,” and also you give them no warning and don’t converse to warn the depraved from their depraved approach so as to save their lives, these depraved individuals shall die for his or her iniquity, however their blood I’ll require at your hand. 19 However if you happen to warn the depraved and they don’t flip from their wickedness or from their depraved approach, they shall die for his or her iniquity, however you should have saved your life. 20 Once more, if the righteous flip from their righteousness and commit iniquity and I lay a stumbling block earlier than them, they shall die; as a result of you haven’t warned them, they shall die for his or her sin, and their righteous deeds that they’ve achieved shall not be remembered, however their blood I’ll require at your hand. 21 If, nonetheless, you warn the righteous to not sin and they don’t sin, they shall absolutely stay as a result of they took warning, and you should have saved your life.
22 Then the hand of the Lord was upon me there, and he mentioned to me, “Stand up, exit into the valley, and there I’ll converse with you.” 23 So I rose up and went out into the valley, and the glory of the Lord stood there, just like the glory that I had seen by the River Chebar, and I fell on my face. 24 The spirit entered into me and set me on my toes, and he spoke with me and mentioned to me: “Go, shut your self inside your home. 25 As for you, mortal, cords shall be positioned on you, and also you shall be certain with them so that you just can not exit among the many folks, 26 and I’ll make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth so that you just shall be speechless and unable to reprove them, for they’re a rebellious home. 27 However after I converse with you, I’ll open your mouth, and also you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God’; let those that will hear, hear, and let those that refuse to listen to, refuse, for they’re a rebellious home.
