Ezekiel 3:1

3:1 He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you see in front of you ¹  – eat this scroll – and then go and speak to the house of Israel.”

Ezekiel 29:21

29:21 On that day I will make Israel powerful, ²  and I will give you the right to be heard ³  among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

² tn Heb “I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel.” The horn is used as a figure for military power in the OT (Ps 92:10). A similar expression is made about the Davidic dynasty in Ps 132:17.
