Ezekiel 2:9-3:3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me,(A) and there was a written scroll in it.(B) 10 When He unrolled it before me, it was written on the front and back; words of lamentation, mourning, and woe were written on it.
3 He said to me: “Son of man, eat what you find here. Eat this scroll,(C) then go and speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. 3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat[a] and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate it,(D) and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.(E)

Ezekiel 2:9-3:3
New Living Translation
9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll, 10 which he unrolled. And I saw that both sides were covered with funeral songs, words of sorrow, and pronouncements of doom.
3 The voice said to me, “Son of man, eat what I am giving you—eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll. 3 “Fill your stomach with this,” he said. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
