Ezekiel 2:8-3:3

New Century Version

⁸ But 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.”

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

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

³ He 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.
