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)

24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me(F) to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.(G) 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.(H) 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof(I) of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people.(J) 27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(K) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.(L)

26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
