11. And go, and enter in among the captives, unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them, and tell them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said, They will not hear, nor forbear.
12. And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of great thunder of the blessed glory of the Lord leaving his place,
13. and 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 great thunder.
14. And 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.
15. And I came unto the captives at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there disheartened among them seven days.
16. And it came to pass at the end of the seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
17. Son of man, I have placed thee as a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me.
18. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die and thou dost not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he might live, the same wicked man shall die for his iniquity; but his blood I will require at thine hand.
19. Yet if thou warn the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20. Again, When the righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits 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 has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at thy hand.
21. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man that the righteous not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
22. And the hand of the Lord came upon me there; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will talk with thee there.
23. 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.
24. Then spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet, and he spoke with me and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
25. And 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;
