Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, eatH398 that thou findestH4672; eatH398 this rollH4039, and goH3212 speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
So I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and he caused me to eatH398 that rollH4039.
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, cause thy bellyH990 to eatH398, and fillH4390 thy bowelsH4578 with this rollH4039 that I giveH5414 thee. Then did I eatH398 it; and it was in my mouthH6310 as honeyH1706 for sweetnessH4966.
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, goH3212, getH935 thee unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and speakH1696 with my wordsH1697 unto them.
For thou art not sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}
Not to manyH7227 peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, whose wordsH1697 thou canst not understandH8085. Surely, had I sentH7971 thee to them, they would have hearkenedH8085 unto thee. {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely…: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696.
As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, all my wordsH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee receiveH3947 in thine heartH3824, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241.
And goH3212, getH935 thee to them of the captivityH1473, unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and speakH1696 unto them, and tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; whether they will hearH8085, or whether they will forbearH2308.
Then the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and I heardH8085 behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494, saying, BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 from his placeH4725.
I heard also the noiseH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the living creaturesH2416 that touchedH5401 oneH802 anotherH269, and the noiseH6963 of the wheelsH212 over againstH5980 them, and a noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494. {touched: Heb. kissed}
So the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and took me awayH3947, and I wentH3212 in bitternessH4751, in the heatH2534 of my spiritH7307; but the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was strongH2388 upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at TelabibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon me; and he saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, go forthH3318 into the plainH1237, and I will there talkH1696 with thee.
Then I aroseH6965, and went forthH3318 into the plainH1237: and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529: and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440.
Then the spiritH7307 enteredH935 into me, and setH5975 me upon my feetH7272, and spakeH1696 with me, and saidH559 unto me, GoH935, shutH5462 thyself withinH8432 thine houseH1004.
But thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, behold, they shall putH5414 bandsH5688 upon thee, and shall bindH631 thee with them, and thou shalt not go outH3318 amongH8432 them:
And I will make thy tongueH3956 cleaveH1692 to the roof of thy mouthH2441, that thou shalt be dumbH481, and shalt not be to them a reproverH376+H3198: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. {a reprover: Heb. a man reproving}
But when I speakH1696 withH854 thee, I will openH6605 thy mouthH6310, and thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; He that hearethH8085, let him hearH8085; and he that forbearethH2310, let him forbearH2308: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.

SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and sayH559 unto them, When I bringH935 the swordH2719 upon a landH776, if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 takeH3947 aH259 manH376 of their coastsH7097, and setH5414 him for their watchmanH6822: {When…: Heb.

If when he seethH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935 upon the landH776, he blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094 the peopleH5971;
Then whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and take him awayH3947, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218. {whosoever…: Heb. he that hearing heareth}
He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315.
But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman'sH6822 handH3027.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
The watchmenH8104 that go aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 me: to whom I said, SawH7200 ye him whom my soulH5315 lovethH157?
But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman'sH6822 handH3027.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
The watchmenH8104 that went aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 me, they smoteH5221 me, they woundedH6481 me; the keepersH8104 of the wallsH2346 took awayH5375 my veilH7289 from me.
And what causeH7379 soever shall comeH935 to you of your brethrenH251 that dwellH3427 in their citiesH5892, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, ye shall even warnH2094 them that they trespassH816 not against the LORDH3068, and so wrathH7110 come upon you, and upon your brethrenH251: thisH3541 doH6213, and ye shall not trespassH816.
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
CryH7121 aloudH1627, spareH2820 not, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and shewH5046 my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403. {aloud: Heb. with the throat}
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
To whom shall I speakH1696, and give warningH5749, that they may hearH8085? behold, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannotH3201 hearkenH7181: behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is unto them a reproachH2781; they have no delightH2654 in it.
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
I will standH5975 upon my watchH4931, and setH3320 me upon the towerH4692, and will watchH6822 to seeH7200 what he will sayH1696 unto me, and what I shall answerH7725 when I am reprovedH8433. {tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when…: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Thy watchmenH6822 shall lift upH5375 the voiceH6963; with the voiceH6963 togetherH3162 shall they singH7442: for they shall seeH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, when the LORDH3068 shall bring againH7725 ZionH6726.
I writeG1125 notG3756 these thingsG5023 to shameG1788 youG5209, butG235 asG5613 myG3450 belovedG27 sonsG5043 I warnG3560 you.
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
KnowingG1492 thereforeG3767 the terrorG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 menG444; butG1161 we are made manifestG5319 unto GodG2316; andG1161 I trustG1679 alsoG2532 are made manifestG5319 inG1722 yourG5216 consciencesG4893.
I have setH6485 watchmenH8104 upon thy wallsH2346, O JerusalemH3389, which shall neverH8548 hold their peaceH2814 dayH3117 nor nightH3915: ye that make mentionH2142 of the LORDH3068, keep not silenceH1824, {make…: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ'sG5547 steadG5228, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
NowG1161 we exhortG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, warnG3560 them that are unrulyG813, comfortG3888 the feeblemindedG3642, supportG472 the weakG772, be patientG3114 towardG4314 allG3956 men. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
