Ezekiel 2:8–3:3

⁸But you, human, listen to what I say to you. Don’t turn against me as those people do. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”

⁹Then I looked and saw a hand stretched out to me, and a scroll was in it. ¹⁰He opened the scroll in front of me. Funeral songs, sad writings, and words about troubles were written on the front and back.

3Then the Lord said to me, “Human, eat what you find; eat this scroll. Then go and speak to the people of Israel.” ²So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

³He said to me, “Human, eat this scroll which I am giving you, and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
