¹Then He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; ^aeat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”

²So I ^aopened my mouth, and He ¹fed me this scroll.

³And He said to me, “Son of man, ¹feed your stomach and ^afill your ²body with this scroll which I am giving you.” Then I ^bate it, and it was sweet as ^choney in my mouth.
