Ezekiel Chapter 3
So God was like, "Ayo, son of man, munch on this scroll and then go spill the tea to Israel."
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
I opened my mouth, and it felt like, "Time to snack on that scroll."
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
He told me, "Stuff your face with this scroll I’m giving you." I ate it, and it was total honey vibes.
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat {it}; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Then he said, "Ayo, bounce to Israel and drop my words on them."
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
You're not sent to some random folks with sus lingo; you’re meant for Israel.
For thou {art} not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, {but} to the house of Israel; {of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}
Not to a bunch of peeps with hard-to-grasp words. If I sent you to them, they would’ve listened, no cap.
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. {of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely...: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}
But Israel? They ain't about to hear you, 'cause they don’t even vibe with me. They're just hardheaded and savage.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel {are} impudent and hardhearted. {impudent...: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
But, fam, I made your face tough against theirs, and your forehead is solid too.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
I made your forehead tougher than flint, so don't even stress their looks, even if they're a rebellious crew.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they {be} a rebellious house.
And God was like, "Yo, son of man, take all my words seriously and really listen up."
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
Ayo, go hit up the peeps in captivity, tell your squad what's good, and drop this message from the Lord, whether they vibe with it or not.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard a wild rush behind me, like, "Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His spot."
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, {saying}, Blessed {be} the glory of the LORD from his place.
I also peeped the sound of the wings of the living creatures vibing with each other, plus the wheels making a hype noise, all rushing together.
{I heard} also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing. {touched: Heb. kissed}
So the spirit lifted me up, and I was feeling all kinds of salty, but the Lord's hand was heavy on me, no cap.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
I showed up to the captives at Tel–abib by the Chebar river and just chilled with them, totally shook for seven days.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
After seven days, the word of the Lord came through, saying,
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Yo, son of man, you're a watchman for Israel, so listen closely to my words and give them the heads up from me.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I tell the wicked they're gonna die and you don’t warn them, that wicked dude's blood is on you, no cap.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked {man} shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
But if you do warn the wicked and they still don’t change their vibe, they'll die in their sin, but you saved your own soul, periodt.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Again, if a righteous dude turns from his goodness and messes up, and I throw a stumbling block in his way, he’s gonna die; if you didn’t warn him, his blood is on you.
Again, When a righteous {man} doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
But if you give a heads up to the good peeps so they don’t mess up, and they actually listen, they'll live for real, no cap; you just saved your own soul too.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous {man}, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Then the Lord showed up and was like, "Yo, get up and head to the plain, I wanna chat."
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
So I bounced to the plain and saw the Lord’s glory there, just like when I peeped it by the river Chebar; I was shook and fell flat.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
Then the spirit vibed into me, got me standing, and said, "Bet, go chill in your house."
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
But listen up, fam, they’re gonna put you in chains and you won’t be able to roll with them.
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
I’ll make it so you can't even talk, you’ll be mute, and won’t be able to call them out ‘cause they’re wildin'.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they {are} a rebellious house. {a reprover: Heb. a man reproving}
But when I talk to you, I’ll unlock your mouth, and you’ll say, "This is what the Lord says; if you wanna hear, hear it; if you wanna ignore, ignore it; they’re just a rebellious crew."
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they {are} a rebellious house.
