Ez 3,1-3 - Prorok má zjesť zvitok; tak sa jeho duch náplní tým, čo zvitok obsahuje a čo Boh chce svojmu národu zvestovať. Súčasne však prorok prejaví aj ochotu urobiť všetko, čo Boh od neho žiada.

Mlčanie prorokovo isteže vzbudilo u ľudu veľkú pozornosť, možno i zdesenie, že Boh chystá proti nim trest. Ezechiel mal mlčať, aby ho zajatci tým pozornejšie počúvali, keď ho Boh zasa pošle medzi nich.
