Ezekiel 3
1. Ezekiel eats the scroll
4. God encourages him
15. God shows him the rule of prophecy
22. God shuts and opens the prophet's mouth














(23) Went forth into the plain.--As he was now again to see the same vision as at the first, it was fitting that he should leave the thickly-peopled Tel-abib and seek a place of solitude, and in that solitude God promises him, "I will there talk with thee." The vision reappeared; again the prophet fell on his face, and again the Spirit set him upon his feet, and talked with him.
