12 Then athe Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: “Blessed is the bglory of the Lord from His place!”
13 I also heard the anoise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and a great thunderous noise.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the1 heat of my spirit; but athe hand of the Lord was strong upon me.
15 Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and aI sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
Ezekiel Is a Watchman
16 Now it acame to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 a“Son of man, I have made you ba watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them cwarning from Me:
18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man ashall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.
19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; abut you have delivered your soul.
20 “Again, when a arighteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”
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.
