Ezekiel 3:22-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Ezekiel Mute. 22 The hand of the Lord came upon me there and he said to me: Get up and go out into the plain, where I will speak with you.(A) 23 (B)So I got up and went out into the plain. There it was! The glory of the Lord was standing there like the glory I had seen by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face, 24 but the spirit entered into me, set me on my feet; he spoke to me, and said: Go, shut yourself in your house. 25 As for you, son of man, know that they will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them.(C) 26 And I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute,[a] no longer one who rebukes them for being a rebellious house.(D) 27 Only when I speak to you and open your mouth, shall you say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Let those who hear, hear! Let those who resist, resist! They are truly a rebellious house.

Ezekiel 3:22-27
New International Version
22 The hand of the Lord(A) was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up and go(B) out to the plain,(C) and there I will speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River,(D) and I fell facedown.(E)
24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me(F) to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.(G) 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.(H) 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof(I) of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people.(J) 27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(K) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.(L)
