1. The Lord said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll. Then speak to the people of Israel.”
2. So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3. He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I’m giving you, and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4. He said to me, “Son of man, go to the people of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5. I am not sending you to people whose language is hard to understand or difficult to speak. I am sending you to Israel.
