Ezekiel 3:25

Verse 25

25. They shall put bands upon thee Or, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound with them. If this is to be taken literally, it is the first sermon which Ezekiel is to preach to his countrymen. It will contain the lesson of his own helplessness. It will be a public confession of his inability to move hand or foot except as Jehovah bids him. This same lesson, less easily understood, however, might have been learned if the “ bands” were purely mental. His seclusion in his own house might have caused remark and been attributed to a divine command.
