📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Ezekiel 3 continues the prophet's commission, as the Lord tells him to eat the scroll he finds and go speak to the house of Israel, and he eats it and it is in his mouth as honey for sweetness. He is sent to the rebellious house of Israel, whose language he knows, and is warned not to be like them a rebellious house but to hear the Lord's words and speak them whether the people hear or forbear. The chapter closes with the Lord making Ezekiel a watchman to warn the wicked, lifting him up by the Spirit to the captives by the river Chebar, binding him so he cannot go out, and making his tongue cleave to the roof of his mouth so he is silent until the Lord opens his mouth to declare that thus saith the Lord God.
