Original Summary

Read Ezekiel Chapter 3 Summary

Ezekiel eats the scroll which tastes sweet as honey, and God appoints him as a watchman over Israel, responsible for warning both wicked and righteous. God tells Ezekiel he will be bound and mute, unable to reprove the rebellious people, speaking only when the Lord opens his mouth.
