10AND HE SPREAD OUT <OBJ.> IT <TO> BEFORE ME AND IT [WAS] WRITTEN FACE AND BACK AND [WAS] WRITTEN TO IT LAMENTATIONS AND MOANING AND WAILING 10which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
1AND HE SAID TO ME O SON OF HUMANKIND <OBJ.> [THAT] WHICH YOU FIND EAT EAT <OBJ.> THE SCROLL <THE> THIS AND GO SPEAK TO [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL Ezekiel Eats the Scroll (Revelation 10:1–11) 1“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
2AND I OPENED <OBJ.> MOUTH MY AND HE CAUSED TO EAT ME <OBJ.> THE SCROLL <THE> THIS 2So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
3AND HE SAID TO ME O SON OF HUMANKIND BELLY YOUR MAY YOU CAUSE TO EAT AND INWARD PARTS YOUR MAY YOU FILL <OBJ.> THE SCROLL <THE> THIS WHICH I [AM] GIVING TO YOU AND I ATE [IT]! AND IT WAS IN MOUTH MY LIKE HONEY TO SWEET 3“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4AND HE SAID TO ME O SON OF HUMANKIND GO GO TO [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND YOU WILL SPEAK WITH WORDS MY TO THEM 4Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
5FOR NOT TO A PEOPLE DEEP OF LIP AND HEAVY OF TONGUE YOU [ARE] BEING SENT TO [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL 5For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
6NOT TO PEOPLES MANY DEEP OF LIP AND HEAVY OF TONGUE WHOM NOT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WORDS THEIR IF NOT TO THEM I HAD SENT YOU THEY THEY WILL LISTEN TO YOU 6not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
7AND [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL NOT THEY WILL BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO YOU FOR NOT THEY [ARE] WILLING TO LISTEN TO ME FOR ALL [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL [ARE] HARD OF FOREHEAD AND STERN OF HEART THEY 7But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
8HERE! I MAKE <OBJ.> FACE YOUR HARD <TO> CORRESPONDING TO FACES THEIR AND <OBJ.> FOREHEAD YOUR HARD <TO> CORRESPONDING TO FOREHEAD THEIR 8Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
9LIKE DIAMOND HARD MORE THAN FLINT I MAKE FOREHEAD YOUR NOT YOU MUST FEAR <OBJ.> THEM AND NOT YOU MUST BE DISMAYED FROM FACES THEIR FOR [ARE] A HOUSE OF REBELLION THEY 9I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
10AND HE SAID TO ME O SON OF HUMANKIND <OBJ.> ALL WORDS MY WHICH I WILL SPEAK TO YOU TAKE IN HEART YOUR AND WITH EARS YOUR HEAR 10“Son of man,” He added listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
11AND GO GO TO THE EXILE[S] TO [THE] CHILDREN OF PEOPLE YOUR AND YOU WILL SPEAK TO THEM AND YOU WILL SAY TO THEM THUS HE SAYS [THE] LORD YAHWEH WHETHER THEY WILL LISTEN AND OR THEY WILL REFRAIN 11Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
12AND IT LIFTED UP ME A SPIRIT AND I HEARD BEHIND ME A SOUND OF RUMBLING GREAT [BE] BLESSED [THE] GLORY OF YAHWEH FROM PLACE ITS 12Then the Spirit*NoteCloseOr the wind; also in verse 14 lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: “Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!”*NoteCloseOr sound behind me as the glory of the LORD rose from its place!
13AND [THE] SOUND OF [THE] WINGS OF THE LIVING CREATURES TOUCHING CLOSELY EACH <TO> SISTER ITS AND [THE] SOUND OF THE WHEELS <TO> CLOSE BY THEM AND A SOUND OF RUMBLING GREAT 13It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
14AND A SPIRIT IT LIFTED UP ME AND IT TOOK ME AND I WENT BITTER IN [THE] RAGE OF SPIRIT MY AND [THE] HAND OF YAHWEH ON ME IT WAS STRONG 14So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
15AND I CAME TO THE EXILE[S] TEL ABIB WHO WERE DWELLING TO [THE] RIVER OF KEBAR AND I SAT THEY [WERE] DWELLING THERE AND I SAT THERE SEVEN DAYS APPALLED IN MIDST OF THEM 15I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
16AND IT WAS FROM [THE] END OF SEVEN DAYS AND IT CAME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH TO ME <TO> SAYING A Watchman for Israel 16At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17O SON OF HUMANKIND A WATCHMAN I APPOINT YOU FOR [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND YOU WILL HEAR FROM MOUTH MY A WORD AND YOU WILL WARN <OBJ.> THEM FROM ME 17“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
18WHEN SAY I TO <THE> WICKED [PERSON] SURELY <DIE> YOU WILL DIE AND NOT YOU HAVE WARNED HIM AND NOT YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO WARN A WICKED [PERSON] FROM WAY HIS <THE> WICKED TO PRESERVE ALIVE HIM THAT WICKED [PERSON] FOR INIQUITY HIS HE WILL DIE AND BLOOD HIS FROM HAND YOUR I WILL REQUIRE 18If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity,*NoteCloseOr for his iniquity; also in verse 19 and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
19AND YOU IF YOU HAVE WARNED A WICKED [PERSON] AND NOT HE HAS TURNED AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS HIS AND FROM WAY HIS <THE> WICKED HE FOR INIQUITY HIS HE WILL DIE AND YOU <OBJ.> LIFE YOUR YOU HAVE DELIVERED 19But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
20AND WHEN TURNS AWAY A RIGHTEOUS [PERSON] FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS HIS AND HE WILL DO INJUSTICE AND I WILL PUT AN OBSTACLE <TO> BEFORE HIM HE HE WILL DIE IF NOT YOU WARNED HIM FOR SIN HIS HE WILL DIE AND NOT THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED RIGHTEOUSNESS<ES> HIS WHICH HE DID AND BLOOD HIS FROM HAND YOUR I WILL REQUIRE 20Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin,*NoteCloseOr for his sin and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
21AND YOU IF YOU HAVE WARNED HIM A RIGHTEOUS [PERSON] TO NOT TO SIN A RIGHTEOUS [PERSON] AND HE NOT HE HAS SINNED CERTAINLY <LIVE> HE WILL LIVE FOR HE HAS BEEN WARNED AND YOU <OBJ.> LIFE YOUR YOU HAVE DELIVERED 21But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
22AND IT WAS ON ME THERE [THE] HAND OF YAHWEH AND HE SAID TO ME ARISE GO OUT TO THE PLAIN AND THERE I WILL SPEAK WITH YOU 22And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23AND I AROSE AND I WENT OUT TO THE PLAIN AND THERE! THERE [THE] GLORY OF YAHWEH [WAS] STANDING LIKE THE GLORY WHICH I HAD SEEN AT [THE] RIVER OF KEBAR AND I FELL ON FACE MY 23So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
24AND IT CAME IN ME A SPIRIT AND IT MADE STAND UP ME ON FEET MY AND HE SPOKE WITH ME AND HE SAID TO ME GO SHUT YOURSELF UP IN [THE] MIDST OF HOUSE YOUR 24Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25AND YOU O SON OF HUMANKIND THERE! PEOPLE WILL PUT ON YOU ROPES AND THEY WILL BIND YOU WITH THEM AND NOT YOU WILL GO OUT IN MIDST OF THEM 25And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
26AND TONGUE YOUR I WILL MAKE STICK TO PALATE YOUR AND YOU WILL BE DUMB AND NOT YOU WILL BECOME TO THEM <INTO> A PERSON [WHO] REPROVES FOR [ARE] A HOUSE OF REBELLION THEY 26I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
27AND WHEN SPEAK I WITH YOU I WILL OPEN <OBJ.> MOUTH YOUR AND YOU WILL SAY TO THEM THUS HE SAYS [THE] LORD YAHWEH THE [ONE WHO] HEARS LET HIM HEAR AND THE [PERSON] WHO REFRAINS LET HIM REFRAIN FOR [ARE] A HOUSE OF REBELLION THEY 27But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
