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.
Ezekiel 2:8-3:3
Common English Bible
8 As for you, human one, listen to what I say to you. Don’t become rebellious like that household of rebels. Open your mouth and eat what I give you. 9 Then I looked, and there in a hand stretched out to me was a scroll. 10 He spread it open in front of me, and it was filled with writing on both sides, songs of mourning, lamentation, and doom.
3 Then he said to me: Human one, eat this thing that you’ve found. Eat this scroll and go, speak to the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll. 3 He said to me: Human one, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you. So I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
