Ezekiel 3:24-27

New International Version

²⁴ Then the Spirit came into me and raised me^(A) to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.^{(B) 25} And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.^{(C) 26} I will make your tongue stick to the roof^(D) of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people.^{(E) 27} But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’^(F) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.^(G)
