not to the many peoples of unintelligible speech and difficult language, whose talk you cannot understand. If I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
But the House of Israel will refuse to listen to you, for they refuse to listen to Me; for the whole House of Israel are brazen of forehead and stubborn of heart.

“O mortal, I appoint you lookout for the House of Israel; and when you hear a word from My mouth, you must warn them for Me.
If I say to someone wicked, ‘You shall die,’ and you do not give warning—you do not speak to warn thembthem Heb. “the wicked one.” of their wicked course in order to save their life—then that wicked one shall die for their own iniquity, while from you I will require a reckoning for their blood.
But if you do warn someone wicked, and they do not turn back from their wickedness and their wicked course, they shall die for their iniquity, while you will have saved your own life.
Again, if someone righteous abandons righteousness and does wrong—when I put a stumbling block before them—they shall die. They shall die for their sins; the righteous deeds that they did shall not be remembered; while from you, because you did not warn them, I will require a reckoning for their blood.
If, however, you warn someone righteous not to sin, and that righteous one does not sin, they shall live because they took warning, while you will have saved your own life.”

Then GOD’s hand came upon me there, and I was told, “Arise, go out to the valley, and there I will speak with you.”
I arose and went out to the valley, and there stood the Presence of GOD, like the Presence that I had seen at the Chebar Canal; and I flung myself down on my face.
And a spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet. And [God] spoke to me, and said to me: “Go, shut yourself up in your house.

As for you, O mortal, cords have been placed upon you, and you have been bound with them, and you shall not go out among the people.cthe people Heb. “them.”
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Sovereign GOD!’ Whoever listens will listen, and whoever does not will not—for they are a rebellious breed.”
