1. Then the Lord said to me, “Human being, eat what you find. Eat this scroll. Then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2. So I opened my mouth, and the Lord gave me the scroll.
3. The Lord said to me, “Human being, eat this scroll which I am giving you. Fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it. And it was sweet like honey in my mouth.
4. Then the Lord said to me, “Human being, go to the people of Israel. Speak my words to them.
5. You are not being sent to people whose speech you can’t understand. Their language is not difficult. You are being sent to Israel.
