4 And to sons that have hard faces and strong hearts do I send thee; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said.
5 And they will not hear nor forbear (for they are a rebellious house), but they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 And thou, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, for they are rebels; though thou find thyself among thorns and thy dwelling be with briers, do not be afraid of their words, nor fear before them, for they are a rebellious house.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, but they will not hear nor forbear, for they are rebels.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent unto me; and in it was the roll of a book,
10 and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations and mourning and woes.
