4The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I do sent you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh.
5They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6You, son of man, don`t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: don`t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don`t be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.
9When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;
10He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
