Ezekiel 3:24-27

Verse 24

The spirit - said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house - Hide thyself for the present. The reason is immediately subjoined. Verse 25

They shall put bands upon thee - Thy countrymen will rise up against thee; and, to prevent thy prophesying, will confine thee. Verse 26

I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth - I will not give thee any message to deliver to them. They are so rebellious, it is useless to give them farther warning. Verse 27

I will open thy mouth - When it is necessary to address them again, thou shalt sum up what thou hast said in this one speech: Thus saith the Lord, "He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear." Let him who feels obedience to the voice of God his interest, be steadfast. Let him who disregards the Divine monition go in his own way, and abide the consequences.
