Ezekiel 3:22-27
Legacy Standard Bible
22 And the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will (A)speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain; and behold, the (B)glory of Yahweh was standing there, like the glory which (C)I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face. 24 The (D)Spirit then entered me and caused me to stand on my feet, and He spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself up in your house. 25 Now as for you, son of man, they will (E)put ropes on you and bind you with them so that you cannot go out among them. 26 Moreover, (F)I will make your tongue cling to [a]the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who reproves them, for they are a rebellious house. 27 But (G)when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you will say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; (H)for they are a rebellious house.

International Standard Version
Ezekiel Sees God in the Valley
22 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I’ll speak with you there.” 23 So I got up, went to the valley, and there was the glory of the Lord, standing there just like[a] I had seen at the Chebar River. So I fell on my face.
24 The Spirit entered me, rested on me, caused me to stand on my feet, and then he spoke to me. This is what he had to say: “Go barricade yourself in your house. 25 Now pay attention! They’re going to bind you with ropes, tying you up right in their midst, so you won’t be able to circulate freely among them. 26 Meanwhile, I’ll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you’ll be mute and unable to reprove them, since they’re a rebellious group.[b] 27 But when I speak with you, I’ll open your mouth so you can say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says:
“As for those who will listen,
‘Let them listen,’
but as for those who refuse,
‘Let them refuse,’
since they’re a rebellious group.”’”[c]

New International Version
22 The hand of the Lord(A) was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up and go(B) out to the plain,(C) and there I will speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River,(D) and I fell facedown.(E)
24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me(F) to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.(G) 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.(H) 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof(I) of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people.(J) 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.’(K) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.(L)
