³Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have ^arebelled against Me; ^bthey and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

⁴“I am sending you to them who are ¹^astiff-²faced and strong-hearted children, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh.’

⁵“As for them, ^awhether they listen or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—they will ^bknow that a prophet has been among them.

⁶“Now as for you, son of man, ^ado not fear them and do not fear their words, though ^bthistles and briers are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

⁷“But you shall ^aspeak My words to them ^bwhether they listen or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

⁸“Now as for you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and ^aeat what I am giving you.”

⁹Then I looked, and behold, a ^ahand was sent forth to me; and behold, a ¹^bscroll was in it.

¹⁰Then He spread it out before me, and it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, sighing, and ^awoe.
