24. Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me,
25. But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put cords upon you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26. And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them one who reproves: for they are a rebellious house.
27. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; He that hears, let him hear; and he that refuses, let him refuse: for they are a rebellious house.
