3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I aate, and it was in my mouth blike honey in sweetness.
4 Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,
6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, ahad I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, abecause they will not listen to Me; bfor all the house of Israel are1 impudent and hard-hearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 aLike adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; bdo not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
10 Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.
