003:015 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv, that lived
by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there
overwhelmed among them seven days.
003:016 It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh
came to me, saying,
003:017 Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
003:018 When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him
no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way,
to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at your hand.
003:019 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness,
nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul.
003:020 Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him,
he shall die: because you have not given him warning,
he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has
done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require
at your hand.
003:021 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous
not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live,
because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.
003:022 The hand of Yahweh was there on me; and he said to me, Arise,
go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.
003:023 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and behold,
the glory of Yahweh stood there, as the glory which I saw
by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
003:024 Then 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.
003:025 But you, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands on you,
and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
003:026 and I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth,
that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover;
for they are a rebellious house.
003:027 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you
shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears,
let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear:
for they are a rebellious house.
004:001 You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before you,
and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
004:002 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it,
and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it,
and plant battering rams against it round about.
004:003 Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron
between you and the city: and set your face toward it,
and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it.
