Ezekiel 3:27

Ezekiel 3:27

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.

27 ^aBut when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ^b‘Thus says the Lord God.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

<< Ezekiel 3:26

Ezekiel 4:1 >>

when I speak . . . I will open thy mouth—opposed to the silence imposed on the prophet, to punish the people (Ezekiel 3:26). After the interval of silence has awakened their attention to the cause of it, namely, their sins, they may then hearken to the prophecies which they would not do before.

He that heareth, let him hear . . . forbear—that is, thou hast done thy part, whether they hear or forbear. He who shall forbear to hear, it shall be at his own peril; he who hears, it shall be to his own eternal good (compare Revelation 22:11).
