Ezekiel 2:8

Read in context

Ezekiel 2:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.

7 But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

8 And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,

10 which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
