²² Then 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 And 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 rebuke 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.
