// Passages:
The voice said to me: “Son of man, stand up! I wish to speak to you.” As he spoke to me, the spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking say to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites. You must speak my words to them, whether they hear or resist, because they are rebellious. But you, son of man, hear me when I speak to you and do not rebel like this rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.” It was then I saw a hand stretched out to me; in it was a written scroll. He unrolled it before me and said to me: “Son of man, eat what you find here: eat this scroll, then go, speak to the house of Israel.” So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. “Son of man”, he said to me, “feed your stomach and fill your belly with this scroll I am giving you.” I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Then he said to me, “Go now to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them. Not to a people with obscure speech and difficult language am I sending you, but to the house of Israel… I will make you as firm as a rock, as hard as a diamond. Do not be afraid of them, or be terrified by their looks.” Then he said to me, “Son of man, take into your heart all my words that I speak to you; hear them well. Now go to the exiles, to your own people, and speak to them.” Thus I came to the exiles…where they dwelt, I stayed among them. The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you shall warn them for me.”
(Ez 2:1-3, 7-10; 3:1-11, 15-17)
