Ezekiel 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 He told me, "Son of man, eat what you see. Eat this book. Then go and speak to the family of Israel."

2 As I opened my mouth, he gave me the scroll to eat,

3 saying, "Son of man, eat this book that I am giving you. Make a full meal of it!" So I ate it. It tasted so good - just like honey.

4 Then he told me, "Son of man, go to the family of Israel and speak my Message.

5 Look, I'm not sending you to a people who speak a hard-to-learn language with words you can hardly pronounce.

6 If I had sent you to such people, their ears would have perked up and they would have listened immediately.

7 "But it won't work that way with the family of Israel. They won't listen to you because they won't listen to me. They are, as I said, a hard case, hardened in their sin.

8 But I'll make you as hard in your way as they are in theirs.

9 I'll make your face as hard as rock, harder than granite. Don't let them intimidate you. Don't be afraid of them, even though they're a bunch of rebels."

10 Then he said, "Son of man, get all these words that I'm giving you inside you. Listen to them obediently. Make them your own.

11 And now go. Go to the exiles, your people, and speak. Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.' Speak your piece, whether they listen or not."

12 Then the Spirit picked me up. Behind me I heard a great commotion - "Blessed be the Glory of God in his Sanctuary!"

13 - the wings of the living creatures beating against each other, the whirling wheels, the rumble of a great earthquake.

14 The Spirit lifted me and took me away. I went bitterly and angrily. I didn't want to go. But God had me in his grip.

15 I arrived among the exiles who lived near the Kebar River at Tel Aviv. I came to where they were living and sat there for seven days, appalled.

16 At the end of the seven days, I received this Message from God:

17 "Son of man, I've made you a watchman for the family of Israel. Whenever you hear me say something, warn them for me.

18 If I say to the wicked, 'You are going to die,' and you don't sound the alarm warning them that it's a matter of life or death, they will die and it will be your fault. I'll hold you responsible.

19 But if you warn the wicked and they keep right on sinning anyway, they'll most certainly die for their sin, but you won't die. You'll have saved your life.

20 "And if the righteous turn back from living righteously and take up with evil when I step in and put them in a hard place, they'll die. If you haven't warned them, they'll die because of their sins, and none of the right things they've done will count for anything - and I'll hold you responsible.

21 But if you warn these righteous people not to sin and they listen to you, they'll live because they took the warning - and again, you'll have saved your life."

22 God grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "Get up. Go out on the plain. I want to talk with you."

23 So I got up and went out on the plain. I couldn't believe my eyes: the Glory of God! Right there! It was like the Glory I had seen at the Kebar River. I fell to the ground, prostrate.

24 Then the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. He said, "Go home and shut the door behind you."

25 And then something odd: "Son of man: They'll tie you hand and foot with ropes so you can't leave the house.

26 I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so you won't be able to talk and tell the people what they're doing wrong, even though they are a bunch of rebels.

27 "But then when the time is ripe, I'll free your tongue and you'll say, 'This is what God, the Master, says: . . .' From then on it's up to them. They can listen or not listen, whichever they like. They are a bunch of rebels!

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et dixit ad me fili hominis quodcumque inveneris comede comede volumen istud et vadens loquere ad filios Israhel

2 et aperui os meum et cibavit me volumine illo

3 et dixit ad me fili hominis venter tuus comedet et viscera tua conplebuntur volumine isto quod ego do tibi et comedi illud et factum est in ore meo sicut mel dulce

4 et dixit ad me fili hominis vade ad domum Israhel et loqueris verba mea ad eos

5 non enim ad populum profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae tu mitteris ad domum Israhel

6 neque ad populos multos profundi sermonis et ignotae linguae quorum non possis audire sermones et si ad illos mittereris ipsi audirent te

7 domus autem Israhel nolent audire te quia nolunt audire me omnis quippe domus Israhel adtrita fronte est et duro corde

8 ecce dedi faciem tuam valentiorem faciebus eorum et frontem tuam duriorem frontibus eorum

9 ut adamantem et ut silicem dedi faciem tuam ne timeas eos neque metuas a facie eorum quia domus exasperans est

10 et dixit ad me fili hominis omnes sermones meos quos loquor ad te adsume in corde tuo et auribus tuis audi

11 et vade ingredere ad transmigrationem ad filios populi tui et loqueris ad eos et dices eis haec dicit Dominus Deus si forte audiant et quiescant

12 et adsumpsit me spiritus et audivi post me vocem commotionis magnae benedicta gloria Domini de loco suo

13 et vocem alarum animalium percutientium alteram ad alteram et vocem rotarum sequentium animalia et vocem commotionis magnae

14 spiritus quoque levavit me et adsumpsit me et abii amarus in indignatione spiritus mei manus enim Domini erat mecum confortans me

15 et veni ad transmigrationem acervum novarum frugum ad eos qui habitabant iuxta flumen Chobar et sedi ubi illi sedebant et mansi ibi septem diebus maerens in medio eorum

16 cum autem pertransissent septem dies factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

17 fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israhel et audies de ore meo verbum et adnuntiabis eis ex me

18 si dicente me ad impium morte morieris non adnuntiaveris ei neque locutus fueris ut avertatur a via sua impia et vivat ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur sanguinem autem eius de manu tua requiram

19 si autem tu adnuntiaveris impio et ille non fuerit conversus ab impietate sua et via sua impia ipse quidem in iniquitate sua morietur tu autem animam tuam liberasti

20 sed et si conversus iustus a iustitia sua fecerit iniquitatem ponam offendiculum coram eo ipse morietur quia non adnuntiasti ei in peccato suo morietur et non erunt in memoria iustitiae eius quas fecit sanguinem vero eius de manu tua requiram

21 si autem tu adnuntiaveris iusto ut non peccet iustus et ille non peccaverit vivens vivet quia adnuntiasti ei et tu animam tuam liberasti

22 et facta est super me manus Domini et dixit ad me surgens egredere in campum et ibi loquar tecum

23 et surgens egressus sum in campum et ecce ibi gloria Domini stabat quasi gloria quam vidi iuxta fluvium Chobar et cecidi in faciem meam

24 et ingressus est in me spiritus et statuit me super pedes meos et locutus est mihi et dixit ad me ingredere et includere in medio domus tuae

25 et tu fili hominis ecce data sunt super te vincula et ligabunt te in eis et non egredieris in medio eorum

26 et linguam tuam adherescere faciam palato tuo et eris mutus nec quasi vir obiurgans quia domus exasperans est

27 cum autem locutus fuero tibi aperiam os tuum et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus qui audit audiat et qui quiescit quiescat quia domus exasperans est
