Ezekiel 2:8–3:3

⁸“And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you: Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.” ^e9So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, ^fand there was a written scroll in it. ^g10When He unrolled it before me, it was written on the front and back; words of lamentation, mourning, and woe were written on it.

3He said to me: “Son of man, eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, ^hthen go and speak to the house of Israel.” ²So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. ³“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat ⁱand fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate it, ^jand it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. ^k
