1 God said, “Ezekiel, eat this paper with My words. Then go talk to My people.” ️ 2 I opened my mouth. God put the paper in my mouth. 3 God said, “Fill your tummy with the paper.” I ate it. It was sweet like honey. 4 God said, “Go to the Israel people. Say My words.” ♂️️ 5 “You are not going to a far land with hard words. You go to your own people.” 6 “Not to many people with words you do not know. If I sent you to them, they would listen.” 7 “But your people will not listen to you. They do not listen to God. Their heads and hearts are hard.” 8 “I make you strong. Your face is strong. Do not give up.” 9 “Your head is harder than rock. Do not be afraid of them. They do not obey.” 10 “Take My words into your heart. Use your ears. Listen well.” ❤️ 11 “Go to the people who were taken far away. Say, ‘God says this.’ They may hear, or not.” ♂️️️ 12 God’s Holy Spirit lifted me up. I heard a loud voice say, “God is so great!” ✨ 13 I heard the wings and the wheels. The sound was loud. 14 God’s Holy Spirit took me away. I felt upset and hot inside. But God’s hand held me strong. ️➡️✋ 15 I came to the people at Tel Abib, by the big river Chebar. I sat with them for 7 days. I was very quiet and still. ️♂️♂️♂️ 16 After 7 days, God spoke to me. ⏳️ 17 God said, “I make you a guard for My people. When you hear My words, tell them to be safe.” ️ 18 “If I say, ‘Bad man, you will die,’ and you do not warn him, he will die. I will ask you why you did not tell him.” ⚠️✋ 19 “If you warn him, and he will not stop, he will die for his own wrong. You will be safe.” 20 “If a good man starts to do bad, and you do not warn him, he will die. I will ask you why. The good he did will not be counted.” ➕➡️➖⚠️ 21 “But if you warn the good man not to do bad, and he stops, he will live. You will be safe.” ✅ 22 God’s hand was on me. He said, “Get up. Go to the open field. I will talk there.” ✋️ 23 I went to the field. I saw God’s bright light. I fell down on my face. ✨ 24 God’s Holy Spirit came into me. He stood me up. He said, “Go home. Stay in your house.” ️♂️ 25 “People will tie you with ropes. You will not go out.” 26 “I will make your tongue stick. You will be quiet. You will not scold them, for they do not obey.” 27 “When I talk to you, I will open your mouth. You will say, ‘God says this.’ People may hear or not. They do not obey.” ️
