22 ^aThen the hand of the Lord was upon me there, and He said to me, “Arise, go out ^binto the plain, and there I shall talk with you.”  ‡

23 So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, ^athe glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I ^bsaw by the River Chebar; ^cand I fell on my face.  ‡

25 And you, O son of man, surely ^athey will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them.  ‡

26 ^aI will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and ^bnot be one to rebuke them, ^cfor they are a rebellious house.  ‡
