‏ Ezekiel 3:11

v. 11: God commands Ezekiel to go to the exiles, the people of Israel, and speak to them. Whether they listen or not, Ezekiel must deliver God’s message (Ezekiel 3:11 a).

In summary, God prepares Ezekiel for his mission by making him eat the scroll, symbolizing that God’s message must become part of him. Ezekiel is warned that his task will be hard, because the people are stubborn and rebellious. Still, God promises to give Ezekiel the strength and courage he needs, and commands him to speak God’s words faithfully, no matter how the people respond.
