Ezekiel 2:9-3:3
New American Standard Bible
9 Then I looked, and behold, a (A)hand was extended to me; and behold, a [a](B)scroll was in it. 10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were songs of mourning, sighing, and (C)woe.
Ezekiel’s Commission
3 Then He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; (D)eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I (E)opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your stomach and (F)fill your [b]body with this scroll which I am giving you.” Then I (G)ate it, and it was as sweet as (H)honey in my mouth.

Ezekiel 2:9-3:3
American Standard Version
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 10 and he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. 3 1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
