Ezekiel 3
Reading Ezekiel chapter 3 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hard-hearted.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.
