Ezekiel 3:4

Read in context

Ezekiel 3:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.

3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

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

5 For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—

6 not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
