Yehezkiel 2:7

2:7 You must speak my words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

Yehezkiel 3:4

3:4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.

Yehezkiel 3:17

3:17 “Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman ¹  for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you must give them a warning from me.

Yehezkiel 3:27

3:27 But when I speak with you, I will loosen your tongue ²  and you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says.’ Those who listen will listen, but the indifferent will refuse, ³  for they are a rebellious house.

[3:17]  ¹ tn The literal role of a watchman is described in 2 Sam 18:24; 2 Kgs 9:17.

[3:27]  ² tn Heb “open your mouth.”

[3:27]  ³ tn Heb “the listener will listen, the refuser will refuse.” Because the word for listening can also mean obeying, the nuance may be that the obedient will listen, or that the one who listens will obey. Also, although the verbs are not jussive as pointed in the MT, some translate them with a volitive sense: “the one who listens – let that one listen, the one who refuses – let that one refuse.”
