1And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
2And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
3And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
5For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
6Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
7But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
