⁸And you, son of man,ⁿ hear what I am speaking to you: you must not be rebellious like the house of rebellion. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving to you.” ⁹And I looked,^o and look! There was a hand stretched out to me, and look! In it was a scroll with writing.^p ¹⁰And he rolled it out^q before me,^r and it was written on the front and back, and there were written on it laments and mourning and wailing.^s

3And he said to me, “Son of man,^a what you find, eat! Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” ²And I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat, ³and he said to me, “Son of man,^b 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^c in my mouth.
