Compare all
1 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; aeat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”  
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.”  
10 Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.

Ezekiel 3:3

It was in my mouth as honey - It was joyous to me to receive the Divine message, to be thus let into the secrets of the Divine counsel, and I promised myself much comfort in that intimate acquaintance with which I was favored by the Supreme Being. In Revelation 10:10 we find St. John receiving a little book, which he ate, and found it sweet as honey in his mouth, but after he had eaten it, it made his belly bitter, signifying that a deep consideration of the awful matter contained in God' s word against sinners, which multitudes of them will turn to their endless confusion, must deeply afflict those who know any thing of the worth of an immortal spirit.
