2 And I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat,
3 and he said to me, “Son of man, you must give your stomach this to eat, and you must fill your belly with this scroll that I am giving to you.” And I ate, and it became like sweet honey in my mouth.
4 And he said to me, “Son of man, come! Go to the house of Israel, and you must speak to them with my words.
5 For you are sent to the house of Israel, not to a people of obscure speech and of a difficult language,
6 and not to many nations of obscure speech and a difficult language whose words you do not understand, for if I had sent you to them they would have listened to you.
7 And the house of Israel, they are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me, for all of the house of Israel is hard of forehead, and they are hard of heart.
8 But look, I have made your face hard against their faces and your forehead hard against their forehead.
