²² And the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Rise up, go out to the valley, and there I will speak with you.” ²³ And I rose up, and I went to the valley, and, look, there the glory of Yahweh was standing, like the glory that I saw near the Kebar River,^[a] and I fell on my face. ²⁴ And the Spirit^[b] came into me, and it made me stand on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Come, shut yourself inside your house,^{[c] 25} and you, son of man,^[d] look, they will place^[e] cords on you, and they will tie you up with them. Then you will not go out into the midst of them. ²⁶ And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silenced, and you will not be a reproving man for them, for they are a rebellious house.^{[f] 27} And when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The one hearing him, let him hear, and the one failing to hear, let him fail,”’ for they are a rebellious house.^[g]
