Ezequiel 2:5-10

5 Y ellos no oirán, ni cesarán, porque son casa rebelde; mas conocerán que hubo profeta entre ellos

6 Y tú, hijo de hombre, no temas de ellos, ni tengas miedo de sus palabras, porque son rebeldes; aunque te hallas entre espinas, y tú moras con abrojos, no tengas miedo de sus palabras, ni temas delante de ellos, porque son casa rebelde

7 Les hablarás mis palabras, mas no oirán ni cesarán; porque son rebeldes

8 Mas tú, hijo de hombre, oye lo que yo te hablo: No seas tú rebelde como la casa rebelde; abre tu boca, y come lo que yo te doy

9 Y miré, y he aquí una mano me fue enviada, y en ella había un rollo de libro

10 Y lo extendió delante de mí, y estaba escrito delante y detrás; y había escritas en él endechas, y lamentaciones, y ayes

Ezequiel 2:5-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 2

This chapter contains me prophet's call, commission, and instruction to prophesy. The preparation to it is in Eze 2:1,2; being fallen upon his face, he is bid to stand upon his feet, with a promise to speak to him; and the Spirit entering into him, he is set by him on his feet, and he hears what is spoken to him; then follows his mission to the children of Israel, who are described as rebellious, impudent, and stiff-hearted; and to whom he is sent, to render them inexcusable, Eze 2:3-5; and he is exhorted not to be afraid of their words, nor dismayed at their looks, however fierce and furious they might be; but faithfully declare his message, and not be discouraged, should it be without success, Eze 2:6,7; and he is instructed not to be rebellious, as they were; but open his mouth and eat what should be given him, Eze 2:8; when, in a visionary way, a hand was seen, and a roll in it, and this spread before him, written within and without, full of lamentation, mourning, and woes, as a symbol of the substance of his prophecy, Eze 2:9,10.
