Contextual Overview
6 Don't be afraid of them or of anything they say. You may think you're in the middle of a thorn patch or a bunch of scorpions. But be brave 7 and preach my message to them, whether they choose to listen or not. 8 Ezekiel, don't rebel against me, as they have done. Instead, listen to everything I tell you. And now, Ezekiel, open your mouth and eat what I am going to give you. 9 Just then, I saw a hand stretched out toward me. And in it was a scroll. 10 The hand opened the scroll, and both sides of it were filled with words of sadness, mourning, and grief.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shall speak my words unto them,.... Not his own words, but those the Lord should put into his mouth. The Targum is,
"and thou shall prophesy the words of my prophecy unto them:''
whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear;
:-;
for they are most rebellious; or "rebellion" c itself; as the carnal mind is said to be "enmity" itself against God, Romans 8:7; which aggravates their character and state.
c מרי המה "rebellio ipsi", Montanus, Polanus, Starckius; "inobedientia sunt", Cocceius.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 2:7. Whether they will hear — Whether they receive the message, or persecute thee for it, declare it to them, that they may be without excuse.
