In Ezekiel 2 and 3 the human form in the glory of the Lord tells Ezekiel to speak to the people of Israel. He is to confront those who have sinned and warn the righteous. They will have no excuse if they disobey God because God will have told them about their sins. God warns Ezekiel that this is a rebellious house so he should not expect them to listen. He, on the other hand, must obey and tell them what God says.

Psalm 119.97-120 speaks of the importance of meditating on God’s word. It makes us wiser than our enemies and have more understanding than the aged. The writer places his hope in the word of the Lord.
