You will tell them whatever I tell you to say, whether they listen or not. Remember what rebels they are.

"Mortal man, listen to what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like them. Open your mouth and eat what I am going to give you." I saw a hand reaching out toward me, and it was holding a scroll. The hand unrolled the scroll, and I saw that there was writing on both sides – cries of grief were written there, and wails and groans.

God said, "Mortal man, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel." So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. He said, "Mortal man, eat this scroll that I give you; fill your stomach with it." I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey.

Then God said, "Mortal man, go to the people of Israel and say to them whatever I tell you to say.

Ezekiel 2:7-3:4

If we eat the Word now, we won’t have to eat our words.

Let God’s word fill your mind,

rule your heart, and guide your tongue.
