23. Then I arose and went forth into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.
24. Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; He spoke and said to me, Go, shut yourself up in your house.
25. But you, O son of man, behold, ropes will be put upon you and you will be bound with them, and you cannot go out among people.
26. And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth so that you cannot talk and be a reprover of the people, for they are a rebellious house.
27. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to the people, Thus says the Lord God; he who hears, let him hear, and he who refuses to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
