But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 2 of Ezekiel. The scroll Ezekiel receives contains words of lamentation, mourning, and woe, yet he must eat it. The image means that the message must be internalized before being proclaimed. Although its content announces judgment, it is sweet in the prophet’s mouth, showing that receiving God’s word can be good even when proclaiming it is painful.

Aber du, Menschenkind, höre du, was ich dir sage, und sei nicht ungehorsam, wie das ungehorsame Haus ist. Tue deinen Mund auf und iß, was ich dir geben werde.
Mas tú, hijo del 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.
Pero tú, hijo de hombre, escucha lo que te digo. No seas rebelde como esa casa rebelde. Abre tu boca y come lo que te doy».
Et toi, fils de l'homme, écoute ce que je vais te dire! Ne sois pas rebelle, comme cette famille de rebelles! Ouvre ta bouche, et mange ce que je te donnerai!
Ma tu, figliuol d’uomo, ascolta ciò che io ti dico; non esser ribelle, come questa casa ribelle; apri la bocca, e mangia ciò che io ti do.
Mas tu, ó filho do homem, ouve o que eu te falo, não sejas rebelde como a casa rebelde; abre a tua boca, e come o que eu te dou.
「但是你,人子啊,要聽我對你說的話,不要像那悖逆之家一樣悖逆,要開口吃我所賜給你的。」
