“Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse” (3:27). Ezekiel was given a message from God that the Babylonians, who had already taken many Jews into exile, would soon besiege and totally destroy Jerusalem. To make it clear, God ordered Ezekiel to act out what was coming. Ezekiel built a model of besieged Jerusalem, he lay on his side for weeks to “bear” their sins, he ate rationed, unclean food, and he shaved and burned his hair (ch 4) - all to warn the people of coming judgment.

“Son of man, go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them” (3:4). God points out sin and warns us clearly because He desires that we choose life.
