Ezekiel 2:8–3:3

⁸‘And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.’ ⁹And I look, and lo, a hand is sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book, ¹⁰and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it are lamentations, and mourning, and woe!

Chapter 3

¹And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, that which thou findest eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.’ ²And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll. ³And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed, and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving unto thee;’ and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
