3. And he said to me: "Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you." And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4. And he said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5. For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6. and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7. Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8. Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
9. I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house."
10. And he said to me: "Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
11. And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: 'Thus says the Lord God.' Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted."
12. And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, "Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,"
13. and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
