1 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll. Then speak to the people of Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I’m giving you, and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the people of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 I am not sending you to people whose language is hard to understand or difficult to speak. I am sending you to Israel.
6 I am not sending you to nations whose language is hard to understand, difficult to speak, or whose words you cannot understand. If I send you to those nations, they will certainly listen to you.
