Ezekiel 3:9-14

English Standard Version

⁹Like ^(A)emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. ^(B)Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.” ¹⁰Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, ^(C)all my words that I shall speak to you receive ^(D)in your heart, and hear with your ears. ¹¹And go to the exiles, ^(E)to your people, and speak to them and say to them, ^(F)‘Thus says the Lord God,’ ^(G)whether they hear or refuse to hear.”

¹²^(H)Then the Spirit^[a] lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice^[b] of ^(I)a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of the Lord from its place!” ¹³It was the sound of the wings of ^(J)the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of ^(K)a great earthquake. ¹⁴^(L)The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the ^(M)hand of the Lord being strong upon me.
