Ezekiel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 3:10

Moreover he said unto me, son of man
The same glorious Person as before continued speaking to him, and added, as follows: all my words that I shall speak unto thee;
not only what he had spoken to him, but what he should hereafter; for he did not tell all at once what he should say, but gradually, revealing his mind to him by little and little; but then he was to receive all that he should say, and reject nothing, nor shun to declare the whole counsel of God: receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears;
what the Lord says should not only be diligently attended to, and heard with eagerness, but should be received, in the love of it, into the heart, and laid, up in the mind and memory, in order to be delivered out to others at a proper time.

Ezekiel 3:10 In-Context

8 But I'll make you as hard in your way as they are in theirs.
9 I'll make your face as hard as rock, harder than granite. Don't let them intimidate you. Don't be afraid of them, even though they're a bunch of rebels."
10 Then he said, "Son of man, get all these words that I'm giving you inside you. Listen to them obediently. Make them your own.
11 And now go. Go to the exiles, your people, and speak. Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.' Speak your piece, whether they listen or not."
12 Then the Spirit picked me up. Behind me I heard a great commotion - "Blessed be the Glory of God in his Sanctuary!"
