Ezekiel 2:10

8 And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,

which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
