Ezekiel 2:8-3:3

English Standard Version

⁸ “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. ^(A)Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and ^(B)eat what I give you.” ⁹ And when I looked, behold, ^(C)a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, ^(D)a scroll of a book was in it. ¹⁰ And he spread it before me. And it had writing ^(E)on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

3 And he said to me, ^(F)“Son of man, eat whatever you find here. ^(G)Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” ² So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. ³ And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” ^(H)Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth ^(I)as sweet as honey.
