²⁵ Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.

⁴ And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.

⁷ And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

²⁷ But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
