Acts 26:17 shows Paul sent to Gentiles — contrasting Ezekiel sent only to Israel. Both are divine commissions but to different peoples.

Isaiah 33:19 describes a people with obscure speech — similar language to Ezekiel 3:5's 'unfamiliar speech'. Both refer to foreign nations with unintelligible tongues.

Isaiah 58:1 Parallel

Isaiah 58:1 commands to cry out to Israel's sins — same audience as Ezekiel's mission. Both are prophets sent to their own people.
