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)
