scorpion in Ezekiel 2
SKOR-pee-un
This creature shows up in Ezekiel 2:6: “You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Ezekiel 2:6
“You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
What kids can learn
When you hear scorpion in Ezekiel, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Ezekiel 2:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
