Contextual Overview

¹ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, that which thou findest eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.' <sup>2</sup> And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll. <sup>3</sup> And He saith unto me, `Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed, and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving unto thee;' and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for sweetness. ⁴ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, go, enter in unto the house of Israel, and thou hast spoken with My words unto them. <sup>5</sup> For, not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue [art] thou sent -- unto the house of Israel; <sup>6</sup> not unto many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou dost not understand.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So I opened my mouth,.... To take in the roll, and eat it; he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; he did all that he could towards eating it, but was not sufficient of himself; and therefore it follows:

and he caused me to eat that roll; he, the Lord, put it into his mouth, caused him to eat it, and tilled him with it, according to his promise,

Psalms 81:10. The efficacy and sufficiency to think of good things, to meditate upon them, receive and digest them, are of God; it is he that makes men prophets, and able ministers. The Targum is,

"and I inclined my soul, and he taught me (or made me wise "with") what was written in this roll.''
