Ezekiel 2:9-3:3

International Standard Version

⁹ As I watched, all of a sudden there was a hand being stretched out in my direction! And there was a scroll ¹⁰ being unrolled right in front of me! Written on both sides were lamentations, mourning, and cries of grief.^[a]

Ezekiel’s Commission to Prophesy

3 Then he told me, “Son of Man, eat! Eat what you see^[b]—this scroll—and then go talk to the house of Israel.” ² So I opened my mouth and he fed me^[c] the scroll.

³ Then he told me, “Son of Man, fill your stomach and digest this scroll that I’m giving you.” So I ate it, and it was like sweet honey in my mouth.
