Ezekiel 3:15-21

I cannot but admire the silence, both of the Prophet and of the people, during the seven days waiting upon the Lord. When we come to enter into the retirings of the Lord, surely a silent, humble, solemn waiting until the Holy Ghost gives a door of utterance, seems to be but the necessary conduct of poor polluted sinners, coming into the presence of an Holy God. How blessedly the Prophet gives this charge to the people. Isaiah 41:1. And what servant, what minister of the Lord, that reads the Lord's commands here given to the Prophet, but must feel concerned in all the exercises of his ministry!
