Ezekiel 3a - The "not-so" Sweet Scroll

Ezekiel cannot bring himself to eat the bitter scroll, so God has to feed it to him.  He then eats it as if it was sweet as honey, though its' contents were anything but sweet.  God says, once you internalize this message, then speak my words to the people.  Though they are stubborn and obstinate, you will be just as stubborn as they.
