So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 3 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.

Da tat ich meinen Mund auf, und er gab mir den Brief zu essen
Y abrí mi boca, e hízome comer aquel rollo.
Abrí la boca y me dio a comer aquel rollo.
J'ouvris la bouche, et il me fit manger ce rouleau.
Ed io apersi la mia bocca, ed egli mi fece mangiar quel rotolo.
Então abri a minha boca, e me deu a comer o rolo.
於是我張開了口,他就使我吃這書卷。
