Ezekiel 3:21-24
New American Standard Bible
21 However, if you have (A)warned [a]the righteous person that the righteous is not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall certainly live because he took warning; and you have saved yourself.”
22 Now the hand of the Lord was on me there, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will (B)speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain; and behold, the (C)glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that (D)I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face. 24 But the (E)Spirit entered me and set me up on my feet; and He spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

24 Then a wind[e] came into me and stood me on my feet. The Lord[f] spoke to me and said, “Go shut yourself in your house.
