² And God spoke to Israel ^(A)in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”

Ezekiel in Babylon

1 ^(A)In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by ^(B)the Chebar canal, ^(C)the heavens were opened, and I saw ^(D)visions of God.^[a]

² And I saw in the vision; and when I saw, I was in ^(A)Susa the citadel, which is in the province of ^(B)Elam. And ^(C)I saw in the vision, ^(D)and I was at the ^(E)Ulai canal.

⁸ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and ^(A)no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed,^{[a] (B)}and I retained no strength.

¹⁶ And behold, ^(A)one in the likeness of the children of man ^(B)touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and ^(C)I retain no strength.

¹¹ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of ^(A)the altar of incense.

²² And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in ^(A)the temple. And ^(B)he kept making signs to them and remained mute.

¹¹ and saw ^(A)the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.

^17 (A)“When I had returned to Jerusalem and ^(B)was praying in the temple, I fell into ^(C)a trance ¹⁸ and saw him saying to me, ^(D)‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’
