Ezekiel 2:8–3:3

⁸But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

⁹And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up: and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.

Chapter 3

And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.

²And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:

³And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee, and I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
