Ezekiel 2:9-3:3

Expanded Bible

⁹ Then I looked and ·saw [^Tbehold] a hand stretched out to me, and a ·scroll [scroll with writing on it; ^Lscroll of a document/book] was in it [Jer. 36:2; Rev. 10:2]. ¹⁰ He ·opened [unrolled] the scroll in front of me. Written on the front and back were ·funeral songs, sad writings, and warnings about disaster [^Lwords of lament, mourning, and woe].

3 Then the Lord said to me, “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], eat what ·you find [you see; is before you]; eat this scroll. Then go and speak to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel.” ² So I opened my mouth, and he ·gave [fed] me the scroll to eat.

³ He said to me, “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], 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 [Jer. 15:16; Rev. 10:9, 10].
