When Ezekiel was called by God to be a prophet, he was shown a vision of a scroll with writing on both sides. The scroll contained words of lamentation, mourning, and woe, which were a warning to the people of Israel about the consequences of their disobedience to God. In Ezekiel 2:9-10, it says, "And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe." The words on the scroll were a symbolic representation of the message that Ezekiel was to deliver to the people, warning them of the judgement that would come upon them if they did not turn back to God.
