1God was like, "Yo, son of man, munch on this scroll and then go spill the tea to Israel."

2So I opened my mouth, and it was like, "Time to snack on that scroll."

3He told me, "Fill your belly with this scroll I’m giving you." I ate it, and it was straight up honey vibes.

4Then he said, "Ayo, go to Israel and drop my words on them."

5You ain't sent to some random peeps with sus language; you’re here for Israel.

6Not to a bunch of folks with hard-to-understand words. If I sent you to them, they would’ve listened, no cap.

7But Israel? They ain't gonna listen to you, 'cause they don't even listen to me. They're all hardheaded and savage.

8But, fam, I made your face tough against theirs, and your forehead is solid too.

9I made your forehead harder than flint, so don’t sweat their looks, even if they’re a rebellious crew.

10And God said, "Yo, son of man, take all my words to heart and really listen up."

11Ayo, 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.

12Then the spirit lifted me, and I heard a major rush behind me, like, "Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His spot."

13I also caught the sound of the wings of the living creatures vibing with each other, plus the wheels making a sick noise, all rushing together.

14So the spirit took me up, and I felt all kinds of salty, but the Lord's hand was strong on me, no cap.

15I rolled up to the captives at Tel–abib by the Chebar river, and just sat there with them, totally shook for seven days.

16After seven days, the word of the Lord hit me up, saying,

17Yo, son of man, you’re a watchman for Israel, so listen up to my words and give them the heads up from me.

18When I tell the wicked they’re gonna die and you don’t warn them, that wicked dude's blood is on you, no cap.

19But if you warn the wicked and they still don't change their ways, they’ll die in their sin, but you saved your own soul, periodt.

20Again, 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.

21But 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.

22Then the Lord showed up and was like, "Yo, get up and head to the plain, I wanna chat."

23So 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.

24Then the spirit vibed into me, got me standing up, and said, "Bet, go chill in your house."

25But listen up, fam, they’re gonna put you in chains and you won’t be able to roll with them.

26I’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’.

27But 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."

1Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

2So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

3And 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.

4And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

5For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

6Not 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.

7But 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.

8Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

9As 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.

10Moreover 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.

11And 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.

12Then 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.

13I 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.

14So 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.

15Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel–abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

16And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

17Son 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.

18When 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.

19Yet 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.

20Again, 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.

21Nevertheless 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.

22And 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.

23Then 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.

24Then 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.

25But 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:

26And 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.

27But 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.
