Ezekiel 3:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 3:4

2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll.

3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ^aate, and it was in my mouth ^blike honey in sweetness.

4 Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,

6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, ^ahad I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, ^abecause they will not listen to Me; ^bfor all the house of Israel are¹ impudent and hard-hearted.

8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 ^aLike adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; ^bdo not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
