John Trapp on Ezekiel 2:8

Ver. 8. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious houſe] It is no hard matter to ſymbolize with ſinners: See Iſa. 6.5. with the Note; to dwell among them, is dangerous: for ſin is catching, and oft Epidemical. Precious therefore and worthy of all acceptation is the Apoſtles counſel, Rom. 12.2. Lawyers tell us, that we muſt not look ſo much what men do at Rome, as what they ought to do.

Eat that I give thee] i. e. The roul, ver. 9. that is, whatſoever I ſhall henceforth dictate unto thee, do thou get it by heart, diſgeſt it, propound it to the people; work it firſt upon thine own, and then upon the affections of thine hearers: See Rev. 4. and obſerve how alike the Lord dealt with Ezekiel and John the Divine.
