1 And he said to me: "Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel."
2 And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
3 And he said to me: "Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you." And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4 And he said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5 For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6 and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7 Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
