Questions:
Consider verses 1–3. What is the difference between eating and feeding one's stomach/filling one's belly? Consider verse 10. What is the difference between listening with one's ears and receiving in one's mind?
Recall "Working To Understand A Prophetic Lesson," by Judry Subar (from 929.org). What are things you do, or can do, to be receptive to listening and hearing? Are there physical things? Spiritual/internal? Is it something you do (or can do) intentionally?
Recall "The Angels’ Raucous Praise," by Deena Cowans (from 929.org) and consider the roar from the angels that goes silent when Bnai Yisrael praises God. Is it possible to be both speaking and listening at the same time?
God directs Yechezkel to speak to a stubborn audience. How does God prepare Yechezkel to meet this challenge?
How might Yechezkel's experiences as a listener inform his practices as a prophet?
When was a time you said something and felt really heard? How might that experience inform your practice as a listener?
