Compare all

6 “And you, son of man, ^ado not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though ^bbriers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; ^cdo not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, ^dthough they are a rebellious house.

7 ^aYou shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and ^aeat what I give you.”

9 Now when I looked, there was ^aa hand stretched out to me; and behold, ^ba scroll of a book was in it.

10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 2:8

Open thy mouth and eat that I give thee - Take my word as thou wouldst take thy proper food; receive it into thy heart; ponder it there, that it may be the means of strengthening and preserving thy soul, as proper nourishment will strengthen the body, and preserve from death. And the people to whom such messages of God may come should so hear it read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest it, that it may become efficient nourishment to their souls.
