Ezekiel 3:26

"But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them."

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 3:26, the prophet is told that despite his efforts to communicate God's message, he will be bound by external forces, symbolizing the resistance and opposition he will face. This binding foreshadows both physical constraints and the spiritual battles against rebellious audiences he will encounter in his prophetic role.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And I will make -Rather, Then will I “make.” One action is the consequence of the other. Because the people would silence the prophet, God to punish them will close his mouth (compareIsaiah 6:9;Matthew 13:14).
