Ezekiel 2:9-3:3
Lexham English Bible
9 And I looked,[a] and look! There was a hand stretched out to me, and look! In it was a scroll with writing.[b] 10 And he rolled it out[c] before me,[d] and it was written on the front and back, and there were written on it laments and mourning and wailing.[e]
3 And he said to me, “Son of man,[f] what you find, eat! Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 And I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat, 3 and he said to me, “Son of man,[g] you must give your stomach this to eat, and you must fill your belly with this scroll that I am giving to you.” And I ate, and it became like sweet honey[h] in my mouth.

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)
