Ezekiel 2:8–3:3

⁸But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel^e like that rebellious people;^f open your mouth and eat^g what I give you.”

⁹Then I looked, and I saw a hand^h stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,^{i 10}which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.^j

3And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, 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.

³Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate^k it, and it tasted as sweet as honey^l in my mouth.
