Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said, "Ezekiel, son of man, after you eat this scroll, go speak to the people of Israel." 2He handed me the scroll and said, "Eat this and fill up on it." So I ate the scroll, and it tasted sweet as honey. 4 The Lord said: Ezekiel, I am sending you to your own people. 5They are Israelites, not some strangers who speak a foreign language you can't understand. If I were to send you to foreign nations, they would listen to you. 7 But the people of Israel will refuse to listen, because they have refused to listen to me. All of them are stubborn and hardheaded, 8 so I will make you as stubborn as they are. 9 You will be so determined to speak my message that nothing will stop you. I will make you hard like a diamond, and you'll have no reason to be afraid of those arrogant rebels. 10 Listen carefully to everything I say and then think about it. 11 Then go to the people who were brought here to Babylonia with you and tell them you have a message from me, the Lord God. Do this, whether they listen to you or not. 12 The Spirit lifted me up, and as the glory of the Lord started to leave, I heard a loud, thundering noise behind me.
