22 The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain,(A) and I will speak with you there.”(B) 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. The Lord’s glory was present there,(C) like the glory I had seen by the Chebar Canal,(D) and I fell facedown. 24 The Spirit entered me and set me on my feet.(E) He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house. 25 As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you(F) and bind you with them so you cannot go out among them. 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth,(G) and you will be mute(H) and unable to be a mediator for[a] them, for they are a rebellious house. 27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth,(I) and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ Let the one who listens, listen, and let the one who refuses, refuse—for they are a rebellious house.

And he said to me, “Arise, go out into (B)the valley,[a] and (C)there I will speak with you.” 23 So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, (D)the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory that I had seen (E)by the Chebar canal, (F)and I fell on my face. 24 (G)But the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself within your house. 25 And you, O son of man, behold, (H)cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people. 26 And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that (I)you shall be mute and unable to reprove them, (J)for they are a rebellious house. 27 (K)But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, (L)‘Thus says the Lord God.’ (M)He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
