Ezekiel 2:8-3:3

New Catholic Bible

⁸ But as for you, son of man, listen to what I say to you and do not be rebellious like that rebellious tribe. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give you.

⁹ I saw a hand stretched out to me, and in it was a written scroll. ¹⁰ He unrolled it in front of me. It had writing on the front and on the back, and written on it were words, of lamentation and dirges and woe.

Chapter 3

¹ He said to me: Son of man, eat what is in front of you. Eat this scroll, and then go forth to speak to the house of Israel. ² Therefore, I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. ³ He said to me: Son of man, eat this scroll that I have given you, and eat your fill. Then I consumed it, and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey.
