The Prophet Made Dumb

22 And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will speak with you." 23 So I arose and went forth into the plain; and, lo, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face. 24 But the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke with me and said to me, "Go, shut yourself within your house.

Commentary on Ezekiel 3:22-27
